“We are a North Shore Chicago family who engaged Gabriel to work with our child who was in the last semester of an honors algebra I class and earning a low D. To make a long story short, my child finished the class with a B+ and was recommended for honors geometry in fairly a competitive program. That was accomplished in two months. But the grades are secondary. My child was floundering and losing his interest in math, though completely capable of doing the work. In a very short time Gabriel was able to get him back on track and develop fundamental understanding of mathematical concepts that go beyond the book and tests. Gabriel is exceptional at communicating with and teaching young adults. His knowledge of mathematics is complete. And he is able develop within his students a similar knowledge, confidence and facility with math. Gabriel is also an educator and so he has been immensely helpful in our understanding of where our child is academically and how that fits with his current school. We are greatly appreciative of the time Gabriel provided, he was very generous and flexible. We highly recommend Gabriel for bright, young students struggling with math concepts. You cannot do better.”

“Gabriel is an excellent Tutor! He’s currently working with my son over the summer for ACT prep, twice a week and explains material well. Sessions are recorded, and his progress is communicated with us after every session. My son feels more confident in tackling tough English questions and his score has improved so far. He’ll be taking the test in September!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Gabriel, who has been an absolute game-changer for my son’s math skills! From the very first session, he brought a level of patience, clarity, and enthusiasm that instantly put my son at ease. What sets Gabriel apart is his ability to break down complex concepts into manageable steps, tailoring every lesson to my son’s pace and learning style as he prepares for the ACT math test. In just three sessions, I’ve already seen a noticeable difference—my son’s confidence has improved. He dreads math, but now he tackles problems with a newfound self-assurance, gets excited to learn more, and actually looks forward to his tutoring sessions! Gabriel is reliable, engaging, and truly invested in his students’ success. I’d recommend him to any parent looking for a tutor who goes above and beyond!”

— Michelle, 4 lessons with Gabriel
“Gabriel is a pro at math tutoring. My daughter is enjoying Algebra sessions with Gabriel and says it really helps with the instructions at school. Some tutors are really smart at the subject matter on Wyzant but do not know how to convey the materials. Gabriel knows how to present the materials in an orderly fashion. He also know how to answer questions. He is a teacher by trade and this is very valuable. We are now signed up with G regularly so our daughter can have a great resource at hand for Algebra.”

— Marlon, 2 lessons with Gabriel
“Gabriel teaches my son 12th grade Physics. My son is a hesitant leaner. He is not in love with Physics. Gabriel comes along, knows how to read the mindset, builds up good chemistry, and now my son gradually shows interest and engagement. While we are still in the beginning stage, I see a teacher, who stresses the importance of first getting a "sense" and "connection" with the student. Thus far, Gabriel did a great job in keeping my son on his toes. Very impressive knowing how blasé students can be at times. Patience and a high degree of optimism coupled with knowing the nuts and bolts of teaching - that is my first impression of Gabriel. Thank you!!”
— Volker, 56 lessons with Gabriel
“It helped a lot that he let me practice again and again the harder topics. Looking forward to improving my understanding of pre-Algebra functions.”
— Lasheeco, 15 lessons with Gabriel
“Gabriel has been working passionately with my boys on Geometry in a way that has improved their reasoning skills and the kids look forward to his class every week. We are looking at Gabriel as a partner in their education as he focuses not just on math but on their work erhic as well. He makes sures the kids are motivated and involved. He works closely with the parents to ensure their learning needs are met. We have decided to work with Gabriel on a long term basis as it’s hard to find someone that is as good and dedicated as he is. Thank you, Gabriel!”
