"Excellent tutor!"
- Lee, Concord, CA on 10/20/16Greg tutored my daughter and helped her get caught up with three weeks of Physics that she missed while she was ill. Then he tutored her to prepare for the ACT Math test. He is very patient and knowledgeable. He understood her particular learning style and was able to make the lessons easy for her to understand. Highly recommend him.
"Strategic Tutor"
- Kelly, Pittsburg, CA on 10/19/17Greg helped me with dissecting problems, and assisted me with creating good test taking habits. He also found my area of weakness within two practice problems. Thanks a lot Greg! See you again.
"Goes at your pace"
- Mari, Antioch, CA on 10/14/17I'm getting help for calc and Greg helps me feel reassured that I know what to do and always checks to make sure I'm not stuck.
"Greg is helping my grandson, Miles, with Pre Calculus"
- Susan, Walnut Creek, CA on 9/11/17Miles will continue lessons with Greg for as long as needed as he has been so happy to have had the help so far. Aside from pre calculus, Greg, will be able to help him with just about any other subject he would have trouble with. I feel so grateful for his help.
"Great teacher very Patient!"
- Michelle, Virginia Beach, VA on 6/21/17Very patient! I have never worked with SQL. Greg took the time and walked me through the program so I would have a better understanding.
"Knowledgeable and patient tutor"
- Kaboom, Concord, CA on 6/21/17Great with MS Access 2010.
He helped me great login forms, and making it secure.
And setting different security levels like confidential, admin, editor and reader. Thanks Greg!
"The Best Physics Tutor"
- Rona, Concord, CA on 5/26/17My daughter went from struggling to understanding and enjoying physics! He careful bisected each topic and made it easier for her to understand. Thank you for always making time for her and working around her crazy sports schedule!
"Detailed and an excellent communicator"
- Bella, Pittsburg, CA on 3/23/17We hired Greg to help update our employee with computer infrastructure and skills. He was very professional. He comes to your house and breaks things down to students who have very basic skills. We would recommend him to others.
"Extremely Patient and Calm"
- Anne, Brentwood, CA on 3/6/17Greg is very good at checking in with my son to find out what he needs. He does an excellent job trying to understand my son's thinking in a kind way, so he can correct him in a manner that allows him to grasp the material. He is always willing to revisit explaining, or show another method at how to arrive at the same answer. I can already see a lightbulb going on in my son's head and more confidence about the testing.
"Knowledgeable and Patient"
- Stephanie, Concord, CA on 2/17/17He taught me how to work with 2 way data tables with Excel, and using the minimum function. He also saw a couple errors that I made and fixed them. He was able to meet me last minute, which was great!
"Great tutor"
- Emily, Brentwood, CA on 1/10/17Greg covered all the material I brought from class. Greg always explains thing clearly and throughly.
I enjoy getting help from Greg and look forward to our lessons.
"Knowledgeable and helpful tutor"
- Kathy, Clayton, CA on 12/12/16I came to our first session with a few questions regarding limits from past worksheets and quizzes. Once we finished going through limits, we moved onto implicit differentiation. Greg was able to clarify these concepts I questioned. He even showed me a different method of implicit differentiation, which is a bit easier for me to understand.
"Did a Good Job"
- Gina, Antioch, CA on 9/19/16Did a good job teaching geometry to my daughter. Greg showed her many different ways so she could understand the problem.
"Great Tutor!"
- Karleen, Antioch, CA on 7/12/16Greg was awesome; available last minute and showed up on time.
He was knowledgeable and broke down word problems (area of challenge for me) in a way I was able to understood. Overall, very satisfied.
Although very apologetic, he did check and answer his phone while tutoring me, which is why I only gave four instead of five stars.
While Karleen is correct that I checked my phone and answered it during her session - I was on the call for under a minute. I have a wife and two children and if one of them calls when I am tutoring I will take the call because it must be important or urgent since they know I am tutoring.
It is unfortunate that Karleen felt that while I was awesome and a great tutor, she rated me a 4 because she comes after my family.
"A great first tutor for us"
- Tara, Antioch, CA on 7/4/16It was a very good initial meeting, he was patient with my son who has ADHD and struggles with math. I appreciated getting solid follow ups on what my son should be working on to help him with math in the future!
"Great Personality and Very Knowledgeable"
- Richelle, Brentwood, CA on 5/14/16Greg is a great tutor and easy for my daughter to work with. She has had other tutors but Greg has been by far the best at helping her understand pre-calc concepts. Very fortunate to find him.
"Great!"
- Melissa, Pittsburg, CA on 5/2/16My daughter had a lesson with Greg last night. He was thorough with the material and even gave her pointers as what she needs to work on. He made sure she knew the material but told me she could use a little extra work with choosing which method to use. Practice, practice, practice. I really appreciated the feed back. He and his daughter do a great job tutoring. So happy we found them.
"More confident"
- Tequisha, Oakley, CA on 4/7/16My son has always struggled in school and after just two lessons he feels more confident than he ever has. He feels comfortable & excited about learning. He actually looks forward to the next lesson.
"Excellent tutor"
- Katrina, Pittsburg, CA on 2/25/16Greg is very thorough and is great on picking up hints that the student is not quite understanding the concept and he will continue to try and explain until the student understands.
"Patient and very knowledgeable tutor"
- Terri, Concord, CA on 2/18/16Our daughter was very hesitant to meet with a tutor. Her first lesson was yesterday and I was impressed in Greg's approach to teaching. There was laughter coming from my daughter while discussing algebra! He really does make math fun. We will continue to use Greg and look forward to our daughter becoming more confident in her skills.
"Great teacher"
- Ahmed, Antioch, CA on 2/10/16Greg is great teacher and have been great for my son. His tutoring skills are very understanding for my son.

- Raymond, Pittsburg, CA on 1/30/16Greg was great !! He immediately jumps in and helps you build strategies to remember formulas , and yes they work !!! He is knowledgeable and pays attention to your weak areas and builds on those areas which makes you aware of what you need to study , in just 1.5 hours I already feel confident and ready to learn more I will def be meeting up with Greg throughout this semester ! Great guy
"Great Experience!"
- Stephanie, Walnut Creek, CA on 1/7/16My son's first PreCalc lesson with Greg helped him identify his strengths and weaknesses. We've scheduled weekly visits for the foreseeable future.
I also appreciated him talking to my son about his career experiences, as fodder for thinking about college majors and future career.
"Found a keeper..."
- Gary, Pittsburg, CA on 12/14/15I didn't attend the session personally, but my son came back and said Greg was great. He'll be our regular tutor through the completion of high school. Thanks Greg.

Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Computer Science
I have a BS in Computer Science from UC Davis. While there, I represented the university in the Association of Computing Machinery's Western Regional Programming competition as well as, the Putnam International Mathematics Competition. I earned A's in almost every computer science class I took. I have written graphic's programs that modeled FIGs, modified UNIX kernels, written compilers. Professionaly, I provided application architecture consulting services to Microsoft for about 1 year.
UNIX
I have a degree in Computer Science from UC Davis. We developed on the Unix BSD 3.9 and 4.3 versions. While at PG&E I administered a Sun Solaris machine which is a flavor of UNIX. Many of my clients used to run Unix and I would be tasked with configuring the environment for our benefit.
