About Dennis
Experience: 10 yrs
My name is Dennis, and I am a California Licensed Educational Psychologist with over 26 years of experience helping students with learning disabilities, dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, autism, reading, writing, math, attention, and executive functioning challenges. My approach is different from traditional tutoring. I specialize in quickly identifying the specific reason a student is struggling, then using targeted, research-based instruction to address that problem directly. From 2009 to 2013 in Southern California, I also provided many hours of one-on-one learning therapy and academic intervention for students with dyslexia, autism, learning disabilities, and related challenges. I help students build skills in reading, spelling, writing, math, study skills, and work completion. In some cases, students show noticeable improvement in as few as 12 to 24 focused lessons. My goal is to find the bottleneck, target it, and help students become more confident and successful learners.
Most recent review
Mr. Dennis S., Dennis, as we call him is a phenomenal Licensed Educational Psychologist and a Therapist. As our son needed a cognitive assessment for his school, it took us some searching to find the right therapist, the right fit for him. It was quite a journey and we are so glad we found our way to Dennis. Dennis has a manner and personality that are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about his field and beyond it. He obviously put a great deal of thought, planning and research into the sessions he had with us and especially with our son. He provided us useful resources and thoughtful recommendations that would be valuable for our son’s academic and personal development. He takes personal approach to therapy and is truly invested in the wellbeing of our son which we are deeply grateful! Thank you Sir S. for everything that you did for us. We will be forever grateful to you and please continue to be a blessing to those who need your expertise and support.
