Highly recommend! Dr. Fics gives clear, careful explanations. He is patient and kind, and his love of learning is inspiring.

Ryan is an exceptional teacher. He puts his students first, is flexible with scheduling, and customizes tutoring plans for individual needs. More than that he's a pleasure to speak with and is very understanding and kind. Ryan is able to convey complicated concepts clearly and make it easy for students to understand the nuances of historical debates within various fields, and easily explain different types of methodologies. I recommend Ryan for anyone looking for a caring and mindful person committed to the craft of teaching and ensuring his students grow and better their understanding of their work.

Ryan is a thoughtful and caring Professor! His dedication and understanding makes all the difference. Highly would recommend!

I have known Ryan as a teacher and researcher for over seven years. He is not only exceptionally talented; he is also caring, compassionate, and dedicated to his students and making sure they meet their goals. I can wholeheartedly say he is one of the best Superprofs out there.

Very knowledgeable in the areas of study he focuses on.

Encourages group discussions and debates.

Fair but honest when it comes to grading.
