Thinking of getting a Tutor for my Dad

My dad 74M has been suffering from early stages of dementia where he is forgetting all proper nouns and speaking incoherently. I want this to not progress beyond this point as he was one of the most intelligent people I've ever met. It seems like he knows what he wants to say most of the time but can't seem to find the right words.

Hence I thought maybe it's about keeping the brain active and redeveloping the linkages in the brain, where a tutor coming in twice a week and teaching him like 5th grade English and Maths would help.

Have any of you tried this? Any advice on this would be great.
