No, there's no way for you, the employee, to claim a fringe benefit deduction on your tax return. The employer reduces your W-2 wages by the amount of any allowable fringe benefits.
To clarify: if your employer reimburses you for tuition, up to $5250 can be excluded from your wages by your employer as a fringe benefit, so it doesn't show up on your W-2. If you are reimbursed more than that, the excess is included in your W-2, unless it's considered a working condition benefit. The link that @Anonymous_ provided gives an explanation.
The current tax law doesn't allow deductions for employee business expenses, so employees who spend their own money for things like job-related car expenses, travel, education, or tools get no deduction at all.
