FAQ

Is the consultation truly free?

Yes, we want to be sure we can help and that you are fully informed about our process and how it all works.

Do you cover my state?

We provide virtual services in most of the United States, and if your child would prefer in-person we can help you find a good fit. We have found that the virtual approach to therapeutic tutoring works for most children 12 years old and over.

How much does it cost?

Each of our psychologists sets their rate based on their experience, background, and expertise, but we ask that the fees do not exceed certain levels. We also ask that each psychologist dedicate a percentage of time to reduced-fee care. 

Do you work with all ages?

We work with children, adolescents, and adults who would benefit from a combination of traditional therapy with educational tutoring. 

How do I know if my child or I am a fit?

Feel free to contact us. If there is a related service that would be a better fit we can discuss that when we talk. We will also want to understand your hopes for working with a therapeutic tutor, and go over what results you can expect.

Do you charge the professionals you refer to?

We do not charge the therapeutic tutors that we credential for the referrals we send so they can keep their fees reasonable. We do charge a nominal fee when they first join so they can get credentialed and listed, and then a small annual fee so we can ensure they are getting necessary continuing ed.

Dr. Alan Jacobson, Psy.D., MBA Founder and Clinical Director
Dr. Alan S. Jacobson, Psy.D., MBA, is the Founder and Clinical Director of Therapeutic Tutoring, a specialized educational therapy service integrating psychological expertise with structured academic intervention. With over 20 years of clinical experience, he oversees evidence-based cognitive educational therapy and individualized tutoring for students and adults with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, executive functioning challenges, and other learning disabilities. His work bridges the gap between traditional tutoring and clinically informed educational therapy services. Therapeutic Tutoring supports children, adolescents, and adults who need more than homework help. Services include online tutoring for dyslexia, reading tutoring for dyslexia, dysgraphia tutoring, dyscalculia tutoring, tutoring for adults with learning disabilities, and specialized support for students with special education needs. Programs are individualized, structured, and aligned with principles of learning science and psychological development. Dr. Jacobson has a doctorate in psychology, a masters in business administration, and used to be a certified school psychologist. He founded Therapeutic Tutoring after observing that many students received testing or accommodations but lacked coordinated, high-quality follow-through. His approach emphasizes durable skill development, executive functioning growth, and restored academic confidence — not just short-term grade improvement. Services are available virtually and, where appropriate, in person, with a focus on thoughtful, evidence-based academic support.
