Pam C. called all excited about her son:
“C. read a whole chapter of Hardy Boys by himself without us telling him to and loved it.  He understood everything and wanted to read more. I had tears in my eyes. You don't know how much it means to me. All the help you've given C. has made such a difference in his ability to read and focus. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

L.E. writes:
“I feel so encouraged by B.'s progress. “Thank you” doesn't begin to convey how much I appreciate your dedication to helping him."

L.S. reports:
“M. has made so much improvement in school. His teachers want to know what you're doing.”

Twelve-year-old C.J. writes:
  "The study skills I got made me feel good about taking tests.  I really like how you showed how my mind works.  I'm not dumb after all."

Seventeen-year-old L.O. writes:
“I went up 120 on the SATs! I didn't know I could do that. I learned so much with you.  Thank you, Dr. Wicks!”

“Miss D. helped my daughter learn to read. She stumbled over almost every word. She would give up in frustration. She's made so much progress in such a short time. You're a life saver.”-- S.B.

Nine-year-old S.L. says:
“I like coming here and learning. This is better than regular school!!!”

“My parents are thrilled. I got a perfect verbal score and a 780 on the math [SAT]. All those extra hours paid off. Thanks, Dr. Wicks.”-- M.R.

“Mr. T. makes math so interesting. I used to hate it! I can't believe I actually understand what I'm doing in geometry!”-- D.C.

“My nine-year-old son G. was reading at about a first-grade level. He also had no math sense whatsoever. He's been coming for about a year. He's now reading at almost a fourth-grade level and can add, subtract, and multiply--still with some difficulty, but he can do it. He has ADHD and Dr. Wicks has helped him learn to focus better and make learning fun. We still have a ways to go, but I'm really thrilled with his progress.”-- C.C.

Sixteen-year-old B.E. writes:
“I like the reasoning activities; now I have a lot of strategies to use and different ways of seeing things.”

Seven-year-old S.T. says:
“I didn't know it was okay to use the right side of my brain! That's fun!”

“Ben really helped me understand what I wasn't getting in math. He drew things on the board and I got the picture!”-- E.S.

“Every child should taste success.” —KAREN WICKS, PH.D.

“My son had really bad dyslexia and memory problems. He struggled so much with reading. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't get the help I needed at school. When E. came to Dr. Wicks he was 9 years old in the fourth grade and was struggling to read third grade books. He's been coming twice a week for about nine months now. He really enjoys reading and is reading books like 'A Boy at War' that would be impossible without all the work Dr. Wicks has done with him. He's learning how to study better and remember information too. I am so grateful!”-- I.B.

"Our son was diagnosed with reading issues in 3rd grade. He managed to overcome them and has done well in school, but never excelled on reading assessments. First SAT: 530 on reading. Second try: 500. We were told that at most he could improve by 50 points. After several months with Dr. Wicks - learning new vocabulary and new strategies for reading paragraphs and answering questions - we are thrilled to report that he got 670 on the reading section on his 3rd try. What once seemed like "reach" schools for him are now firmly within his grasp. We are ecstatic. Thank you, Dr. Wicks." -- Jeffrey Becker, MD
