Meet Gabe

A real person to help you find the right fit.

Gabe is a UC Berkeley graduate who has spent more than eight years tutoring San Diego students. He works with students directly across subjects, with particular expertise in higher-level math, STEM, and writing, and he also teaches SAT and ACT preparation and college counseling.

When a student would be better served elsewhere, he personally selects a tutor from his handpicked team and stays your single point of contact. Either way, the first step is the same: talk with him about what your student needs.

Services in more detail

Three ways families work with Gabe.

01 — Academic tutoring

Individualized subject support

Students come with a specific class that is not going the way they hoped, or with material that moved faster than they could follow. Sessions start from what the student actually understands, then rebuild the parts that are shaky.

Support is available for middle school, high school, and introductory college coursework, in person around San Diego and North County or online.

  • Algebra
  • Geometry
  • Precalculus
  • Calculus
  • Statistics
  • Chemistry
  • Physics
  • Biology
  • English & Writing
  • AP Courses
  • Middle School
  • Elementary

Availability varies by subject and location. Gabe will confirm what is available near you.

02 — SAT & ACT preparation

Structured preparation, one-on-one

Good test preparation is not more of the same practice. It starts with identifying the areas that are costing points, then building a plan around them, with practice on the strategies each section actually rewards.

  • A personalized study plan tied to your student's results
  • Practice-test analysis, section by section
  • Targeted strategies for the questions that give students trouble

No two students arrive with the same gaps, so the plan follows what the practice work shows.

03 — College counseling & essays

Guidance that keeps the student's voice

College applications reward thinking, not polish alone. Gabe works with students on the timeline, the strategy behind their list, and the essays themselves, with the writing staying in the student's own voice.

  • College planning and application strategy
  • Essay coaching that draws out the student's own ideas
  • Support refining drafts the student writes, not writing them for them

The essays remain the student's work. Gabe coaches the thinking, structure, and revision.

How to get started

A simple first step.

  1. 01

    Tell Gabe what you need

    Text or call with the subject or service, the grade, and what has been difficult.

  2. 02

    Talk through the details

    Discuss goals, scheduling, and whether in person or online makes more sense.

  3. 03

    Agree on the next step

    Decide together what kind of support fits, and when to begin.

Personal attention

Support that sees the student.

Students learn at different paces, and needing more time with a topic is not the same as not being able to learn it. Sessions are a place to ask the question twice, work slowly through the part that is not clicking, and find an approach that makes sense for the way your student thinks.

That usually means building confidence alongside the material, one honest step at a time.
