I tried Fick Educational Services to help my son learn how to study and get organization skills. The staff was wonderful working with my son and I saw a drastic change for the better in his study habits and much improved grades. It was well worth the money as it made my son take interest in preparing for his classes and become confident that he could do well in school. Great motivation!! Very happy.

Cris and Susan not only tutored our son in Math concepts but they also ingrained in him the importance of neatly written and well-aligned numbers. It’s completely amazing how the mastery of this “non-academic” skill has made such a difference in our son’s success! Thank you for looking beyond the books.
