About Gerardo


Bio

I am a STEM focused tutor that specializes in teaching all levels of math (AP included), science, academic test prep, and college level classes.

One of my greatest strengths as a tutor is my ability to communicate with my students. I identify areas that need improvement and figure out where the fundamental disconnect between the material and my student's understanding of it exists.

My philosophy is to teach my students to learn by intuition and logic rather than memorization. I...

I am a STEM focused tutor that specializes in teaching all levels of math (AP included), science, academic test prep, and college level classes.

One of my greatest strengths as a tutor is my ability to communicate with my students. I identify areas that need improvement and figure out where the fundamental disconnect between the material and my student's understanding of it exists.

My philosophy is to teach my students to learn by intuition and logic rather than memorization. I emphasize teaching the fundamentals to build up a strong foundation of understanding. I believe this approach produces superior long-term learning and enables my students to continue succeeding later in life.

In addition to tutoring, I have 12 years of experience in technology startups and consulting in the semiconductors, consumer electronics, and medical device industries. Prior to that I studied Mechanical Engineering at the California Institute of Technology.

Excellent tutor

Gerardo is a very smart and patient person. He demonstrated in depth knowledge and proficiency on the GRE quantitative section. Likewise, his passion for math made the subject easily accessible. Our lessons were worth every dollar spent.

Nick, 1 lesson with Gerardo

Very qualified!

My son really enjoyed meeting and working with Gerardo. He liked his approach. Gerardo explained the concepts where my son needed assistance, showed an example, and then observed Matt as he tried to work the problem on his own, adding assistance as needed. It was the right balance of support. Gerardo knew the concepts thoroughly even though it was the first meeting.
