Parent Testimonials:
- "I'm so glad an MD friend referred me to Dan Leibowitz for my children. Their personal organization took an immense pop as they hit middle school's intensity with aplomb. I would highly recommend Dan to all parents. My children are so much more successful because of Dan's kind support and tools." -Bonnie, parent
- His freshman year at USF, (our son) went from being a philosophy student who had great difficulty organizing his thoughts and writing essays, to a student who gets consistently high grades and positive comments on his written work. Dan advised him on how to advocate for himself in the classroom and fostered his independence by showing him how to move forward on his own. -N.M., San Francisco
- When my son was diagnosed with ADHD and executive functioning disorders, I didn’t know where to begin. After a few sessions with Dan, Jack’s organizational skills improved dramatically. The emotional hit he took from feeling “different” was immediately addressed by Dan’s understanding and assessable nature and Jack’s self-esteem never faltered. They remain in contact as friends. -L.G., San Francisco
- (Our son) is really thriving this year and working with you is a big part of it. Thank you. B.H., North Bay
- Just want to let you know that from a parent's perspective, Dan is one of the best in his field. He has a wealth of applied knowledge, but he treats each student as an individual. -C.D, Oakland
- Dan is an exceedingly effective learning specialist. He improved Greg's writing by carefully breaking down and then reconstructing how he approached his assignments. Dan's use of technology and self-help strategies allowed Greg easily to incorporate what Dan taught him into his everyday schoolwork. Greg is now a significantly better writer, and academically much more competent because of the time spent working with Dan. -Bill M., San Francisco
- "Well, (our son) came home in high spirits on Wednesday. "He's a genius," he said of you, and the session you two had. This isn't only high praise; it's unheard of in my experience of my son. Wow. Hurray! (Prior to our meeting I believe he felt working with a learning specialist was something he had to do; afterwards I felt he saw it as something he wanted to do)." -Parent of an 11th grade student
- As our son's workload got more complex, he was deflated emotionally and struggling horribly to keep up. Dan greatly improved his time management and project preparation skills through basic principles of structure and with some straightforward software. An exceptional added bonus is that Dan helped our son lower his stress and feel confident that he could complete what used to be overwhelming. He also helped alleviate our son's negative associations with school. -Kevin T., San Francisco
- Dan worked with our son to improve his ability to write compositions. Utilizing software and a consistent approach, he helped Patrick organize his thoughts in a coherent and logical way. Dan turned one of our son's weaknesses into a strength. -Frank C., San Francisco
- It was a pleasure meeting with you yesterday. I love everything that you are doing and the way you do it. I was most impressed. In fact, I am jealous. I would love to have had you around when I was learning to learn. -Parent
