I have two suggestions.  One is to call the New York Branch of the 
International Dyslexia Association at 212-691-1930.  They have referral 
lists of tutors who are familiar with multisensory instruction and who 
probably have the professional background this gentleman needs.  You might 
also want to look at the Lexia program (www.lexialearning.com).  This is an 
excellent program for building decoding skills.  I feel, though, that it 
helps to have a teacher to work with as well.  Best of luck.
