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.
