Hello, my name is Gaby! I am a graduate from the University of California, Riverside where I received my Master’s in Education and my Chemistry Teaching Credential.

My background: I have 5+ years’ experience tutoring in Organic Chemistry. I have tutored students from a variety of different background ranging from community colleges to ivy league schools.

My purpose: To help you succeed by providing you with the tips and tricks I’ve accumulated over the years to master Organic Chemistry. I’m motivated by seeing students improve their understanding and build up their confidence the more we work together. I believe that you are more than capable of succeeding and my job is to break down the material in a way that makes sense to you. My greatest accomplishment as a tutor has been working with students who were at risk of failing turn their grades around and finish the course at the top of their class.

My approach: Every professor takes a different approach to teaching Organic Chemistry, so I adapt my teaching method based on your needs. I will help you navigate the course by gauging your current level of understanding and help you develop the understanding and skills that are the most crucial for success. I will point out common areas of misconception and provide you with tools to solve problems effectively and efficiently.

My resources: In Organic Chemistry, practice makes perfect. Therefore, I have created my own set of guided notes, reaction summaries, and practice problems. These resources have the been developed from years of experience and exposure to practice exams and hundreds of hours studying lectures and reading major textbooks. These resources are made available to my students to help summarize a large volume of information, break down complex topics, and prepare students to answer standard exam questions.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a session. I look forward to working together!

Amazing Tutor!

Gaby’s tutoring was truly invaluable in helping me succeed in organic chemistry! She did an amazing job of synthesizing complex mechanisms and topics into clear, easy-to-understand concepts. I really appreciated how she tailored our sessions to align with the specific content my professor emphasized. Her tips and memory tricks for certain topics and mechanisms were especially helpful during exams. Overall, I had a fantastic experience working with Gaby—highly recommend!

Gaby Truly Made Orgo Click

Gaby has been an incredible tutor throughout both my semesters of Organic Chemistry - thanks to her support, I was able to earn an A in both classes. She has a deep understanding of the material and is able to explain even the most complex mechanisms clearly and effectively. Her custom review sheets are thoughtfully structured and incredibly helpful for both learning and last-minute review. What makes her stand out even more is her ability to adapt her teaching style to fit exactly how you learn best. I always felt more confident going into quizzes and exams after our sessions. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to succeed in orgo!

Teacher and Role Model

Connecting with Gabriela was one of the best decisions I have made during my time studying organic chemistry. She is not only super knowledgeable about the subject, but she also knows how to break down content so that it is digestible for first-time learners. Gabriela is extremely kind and patient, and I always found myself looking forward to our meetings. I loved how learning from her was more than just getting an A in the class, but learning how to value hard work, diligence, and a passion for the subject. I enjoyed every lesson! Thank you!

Excellent Tutor

Best decision I ever made!! She’s patient and explains everything in simplest way possible. She’s a knowledgeable and skilled tutor :)

Amazing!

She really took the time to go over my areas of weakness and walked me through reactions and mechanisms. We specifically worked on studying for the dental admission test together and I ended up scoring in the 96th percentile thanks to our review.

Makes Organic Chemistry Accessible

Gaby is a wonderful tutor. Before I started working with her, I was below the class average, and I finished with a solid A! She is very patient, knowledgeable, and articulate, coming up with new angles to look at a problem if the explanation doesn't stick the first time. She was great at reviewing broader concepts I had missed in lecture as well as all the random details and questions that come up along the way! Organic Chemistry felt a lot a more manageable and interesting after working with her! :)

First Lesson Thoughts

As far as first lessons go, I thought this was a pretty good one. We reviewed some Orgo mechanisms and spent the bulk of our time discussing p orbital overlap. I found this lesson to be helpful and look forward to understanding Orgo 2!

awesome!!!

She was amazing. Very understanding and patient! Went back to general chemistry to help me understand organic. Sent me the textbook and practice problems. AWESOME!

Gaby is the best!

Gaby is genuinely a better teacher than the instructors at my university -- I would truly be failing without her and am so grateful for her incredible and patient instruction!!!
