About CHARLES
Hi! I’m Charles Fick, a Special Education Teacher based in Cortland, NY—and more importantly, I’m a proud dad to two amazing sons on the autism spectrum. Teaching and parenting neurodiverse kids has taught me how to meet each student exactly where they are, with patience, empathy, and practical tools that work. With a background in special education, urban development, and theology, I bring a unique perspective to tutoring—combining academic support with a deep respect for the whole person. I understand sensory needs, executive functioning challenges, communication differences, and the joys and complexities of learning with an autistic brain. Whether we’re working on school subjects, emotional regulation, social thinking, or confidence-building, my sessions are calm, structured, flexible, and relationship-centered. I create a safe space where kids feel understood, respected, and empowered to grow. Let’s work together to help your child shine—in their own time, and in their own way.

As both a special educator and a parent of two autistic sons, I offer tutoring rooted in compassion, experience, and neurodiversity-affirming practice. I offer one-on-one support in ELA including reading and writing, Math, Social Studies, Science, IEP goals, executive functioning, organization, routines, and emotional regulation. I also offer homework help, test prep, and advocacy coaching for families. I understand the importance of predictability, sensory needs, flexible pacing, and relationship-based learning. Whatever your child's academic needs are, I’m here to support their growth and confidence—on their terms.

Charles Fick is a teacher who cares about his students and will find the best way for each individual student to learn.
I have worked with Charles throughout the 2024-25 school year. He has shown himself willing to work with any student and to fit his instruction to that student's learning style. His main goal is a teacher is for his students to be successful in school and out of school.I would like to enthusiastically recommend Charles Fick as a candidate for teaching special education or social studies classes at the secondary level. While working as my special education co-teacher during the 2024-25 school year, Charles has shown content expertise in early US history. In terms of his abilities as a special education instructor, he has an excellent rapport with students, showing empathy and understanding for what will help unorthodox learners achieve their best results.
Charles has shown the ability to be deferential to my role in leading daily lessons while at the same time being totally capable of taking a lead position in running the classroom if I am absent. Charles can also smoothly transition to lead teacher during a lesson if he has a unique insight to the lesson topic, or if I am busy helping a student with a task. Any co-taught classroom he is a part of will have an extra layer of knowledge and classroom management.
Charles is knowledgeable and easy to work with. He is easily one of the best co-teachers I’ve taught alongside. Charles would be a great asset to whomever he is working for. I highly recommend him.
I highly recommend Charles as a tutor you can trust. He’s calm, kind, and incredibly patient—someone who creates a safe, encouraging space for learning. With multiple degrees and extensive experience as both a teacher and a father to children with special needs, he brings a deep well of empathy, adaptability, and insight to his work.
Whether he's helping a college student grasp a tough concept or supporting a younger learner with special needs who needs a little extra encouragement, he meets each person where they are and helps them grow with confidence. He has a gift for making complex things understandable, always with a gentle, steady presence.
If you're looking for a tutor who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in your or your child’s success, I can't recommend him highly enough.Charles is a coworker on my team. We share the same cohort of students. Being a special education teacher he always strives to do what's best for each and every student to help them have the same opportunities of others. During his resource room he's always making sure his students are able to catch up and re-learn skills as they need. As the science teacher on his team, if a student needs help/extra support Charles let's me help or ask's me how he can help them. Charles won't let a student fall behind or give up.
Because Charles goes above and beyond for his students in the classroom and no subject seems to be out of his reach, I believe he would be a great member of Superprof. Any student would be lucky to have Charles on their team.Charles is a person of kindness and integrity who loves imparting knowledge and understanding to those he teaches.
Charles has excellent inductive Bible study skills PLUS the added benefit of graduate-level study of the Biblical languages, including Aramaic. His knowledge of the Gospel of Mark in particular is notable.
Charles is an excellent teacher and a trustworthy person. I’ve known him for several years and throughout that time he has always been thoughtful, empathetic, and skillful in the way that he teaches. He has a curious and whimsical nature about him and an excellent sense of humor. He has given me powerful guidance in my faith and has been a person who has deeply affected my life. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to learn about or grow their faith.
