I have eight years of experience teaching physical sciences and mathematics in the classroom in addition to years of tutoring experience. I have recently returned to the San Francisco Bay Area after graduate studies and am interested in giving some lessons to high school and undergraduate level students in need of assistance. I have taught all levels of high school physics from Conceptual up through AP Physics (B and C courses) for 7 years. One of my AP classes even had a 100% pass rate. I am also comfortable teaching classical physics at the undergraduate level. I have 2 years of experience teaching high school Chemistry and 4 years teaching high school math from Algebra 1 though Calculus.

I am a very patient and generous tutor. I set reasonable and achievable goals with students and work towards greater understanding of concepts and problem solving techniques. My goal is to make you or your student self sufficient by breaking down the barriers to full comprehension.

Great Math Tutor

Gabriel was quite helpful in helping my son review a whole semesters worth of work in preparing for a Math 3 final exam. He was able to explain a wide variety of concepts efficiently and thoroughly.

Teaching and Learning

Gabriel clearly knew the material and gave my son helpful hints for the actual AP Physics exam; plus I could hear his command of the material as they worked through problems. I could hear the learning happening from my vantage point in the kitchen. Gabriel is a solid teacher.

Patient tutor

Gabriel did a great job. Patient, knowledgeable and knows the topics. He explains the topics step by step so it is easy to understand it. Our daughter needs to do the AP Physics tests which are not a breeze. Hopefully Gabriel can help her through it.

Elementary Algebra

Reinforced my understanding of the concepts and practiced what I thought I knew from my online homework (online simply is not a good idea)). I am over 40 and have not had algebra of this type ever since leaving high school. Information like this does not keep for very long. I am pleased to have found a tutor that is easy to communicate with and thorough. Knowledgeable and gives advice where its needed as I need it! Justin

Great tutor!

Coming into a 2 hour tutoring session with him and I had a lot of confusion on multiple topics. After just 2 hours he answered all my questions and gave me a very confident understanding of what I was confused about. Gabriel is very patient and quite good at explaining concepts!

Easy quiet manner - very knowledgable

My son is a very visual learner and generally needs to work through the process himself in order to learn. Gabriel is patient and quiet mannered; he lets my son come to the answer (or an answer) then helps guide him forward to the next step. Gabriel is not teaching 'at him' but working with him. He is very knowledgable about what he teaches, never seems rushed and has been very flexible in terms of timing of lessons. He's a great tutor!

Gabriel was cool and taught me a lot.

Gabriel makes good connections. He explained the algebra concepts very clearly and made sure I understood. He was really focused and encouraged the same in me. We got a lot done in an hour.

Very helpful

Gabriel helped our son with several sessions at the end of the semester, after he had fallen behind in geometry and chemistry. He was knowledgeable and patient.

First lesson review

My son felt very good by the end of the first session. He feels like he understood what he needed to complete his homework for tomorrow and that Gabriel will be able to help him much more in the future. Unfortunately I was not able to stay for the session so I can only report what my son told me later in the evening. Thank you Gabriel!

Kind, patient, flexible

Gabriel was clearly quite knowledgeable on the subject matter and he patiently walked me through the material until I understood. He also was very willing to work around my schedule.
