Depends on who you find. Look for an educational therapist rather than a run of the mill tutor. My older DD went to see one for years and it helped a lot. But I've struggled to find someone to work with my DS. We have had bad luck. We found someone who started to look like she was getting somewhere and she turned around and quit on us for personal reasons. There are tutors out there that can help with this kind of thing, but it's not your run of the mill 'writing tutor'.
