ITEM 1.           SECURITY AND ISSUER.

                  This statement amends a Schedule 13D filed October 5, 1998
(the "Original Filing"), as previously amended by Amendment No. 1 filed January
7, 1999 ("Amendment No. 1"), regarding the common stock, $.0001 par value (the
"Common Stock") of Learning Tree International, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"). Reference should be made to the Original Filing and Amendment
No. 1 (together, the "Prior Filings") for additional information. Terms with
initial capital letters not defined in this Amendment No. 2 are used with the
meanings assigned to them in the Prior Filings.

ITEM 3.           SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

                  Mr. Guth acquired control over 168,846 shares as a result of
his appointment as trustee of the Nancy Garen 1999 Annuity Trust, and the
deposit of shares into that trust by the trustor, Nancy J. Garen. Mr. Guth
acquired control over an additional 168,846 shares as a result of his
appointment as trustee of the Eric R. Garen Annuity Trust dated February 1,
1999, and the deposit of shares into that trust by the trustor, Eric R. Garen.
No consideration was paid by such trusts (hereafter, the "1999 Trusts," and
together with the Trusts as defined in the Prior Filings, hereafter the
"Trusts") or the Trustee for such shares.

ITEM 4.           PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.


                  The contribution of the 337,692 shares referred to under Item
3 to the 1999 Trusts was for charitable and tax planning purposes. The 1999
Trusts hold such shares for investment purposes only, and do not contemplate any
efforts to change the Company's business or corporate structure.

ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                  A.       The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as
of January 15, 1999, according to the Company's Proxy Statement filed January
29, 1999, was 21,994,507. The number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned (within the meaning of the rules under Section 13 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) by Mr. Guth is as follows:


<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
CAPACITY                                              NUMBER OF SHARES
- --------                                              ----------------
<S>                                                   <C>    
As Trustee of the Nancy Garen 1998 Annuity Trust          581,154
As Trustee of the Eric R. Garen 1998 Annuity Trust        581,154
As Trustee of the Nancy Garen 1999 Annuity Trust          168,846
As Trustee of the Eric R. Garen 1999 Annuity Trust        168,846
As Trustee of the Garen Dynasty Trust                     163,000
Vested portion of the Option(1)                             6,000
Total                                                   1,669,000
</TABLE>


         Based upon the number of shares set forth in the Proxy Statement, the
1,669,000 shares beneficially owned represent approximately 7.59% of the
outstanding of the Common Stock as of January 15, 1999.

                  B.       Mr. Guth has sole voting and dispositive powers with
respect all the shares of Common Stock of the Company held by him.

                  C.       During the past sixty (60) days, neither Mr. Guth
personally nor the Trusts has effected any transaction in the Common Stock of
the Company, other than the transfers described in this Amendment No. 2 and in
the Prior Filings.

ITEM 6.           CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH 
                  RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                  There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or
relationships between the 1999 Trusts and any other person with respect to the
Common Stock held by the 1999 Trusts.
