I also like that we do a lot of examples of various difficulties to ensure that I fully understand each topic. She was able to explain concepts that I had been struggling for years. She also has a lot of patience because when I first started I knew nothing and I mean nothing of calculus and now (only after 5 lessons) I can understand what is going on in my class and even start doing practice problems online for the AP exam. I like how she does not assume you know previous knowledge on math as she goes over the basics to ensure that you are building a solid foundation in math and not starting mid air. Her teaching method is hands on learning as she does not just lectures about the subject but instead encourages you to always try different problems. She also gives a lot of tips for memorizing different equations and concepts that are very useful. Unlike my school teacher, she is very welcoming as she cares a lot about her students since she always encourages me to ask her for help on problems even outside of our sessions.

Currently, I'm in my third year of pursuing a Ph.D. in Math Education at San Diego State University and the University of California San Diego.

Hello! My name is Gabriela, and I am a 32-year-old experienced math teacher and tutor.
Currently, I'm in my third year of pursuing a Ph.D. in Math Education at San Diego State University and the University of California San Diego. My extensive background in teaching mathematics--amassed over a decade of experience in tutoring as well as through my experience as a math teacher in the US, Korea, and Taiwan-- has exposed me to the limitations of traditional math education and hence the importance of student-centered learning.
I hold a Master's degree in Mathematics from Colorado State University, supplemented by an interdisciplinary focus in Education. My master's thesis was dedicated to enhancing professional development programs to better equip graduate students for teaching math. Currently, in my Ph.D. program, my research is primarily oriented toward promoting equity in the mathematics classroom. Moreover, my dissertation explores the parallels between problem-solving in rock climbing and mathematics.
I have extensive experience teaching elementary courses through college courses, including SAT math, IB math, AP Calculus, and Algebra 1 and 2. My deep-rooted passion for mathematics and dedication to making it enjoyable and captivating for students of all ages is at the core of my teaching philosophy. I acknowledge the prevailing stigma around mathematics, which often reduces this beautiful domain to mundane calculations and stress-inducing tasks. As a math educator, I strive to shatter this stereotype and make math more fun and approachable, particularly for those who have built mental walls against it. I am confident in my unique skill to help students deeply understand mathematics through robust conceptual understanding. Rest assured, I strive to be the most relatable math teacher any student could have!

Math genius while being patient, kind and funny!!
Gabriela has been tutoring me to help me pass my AP Calculus AB exam for the past month. She is really patient ,smart and funny. She always explains the subjects in a way that I understand. I also like that we do a lot of examples of various difficulties to ensure that I fully understand each topic. She was able to explain concepts that I had been struggling for years. She also has a lot of patience because when I first started I knew nothing and I mean nothing of calculus and now (only after 5 lessons) I can understand what is going on in my class and even start doing practice problems online for the AP exam. I like how she does not assume you know previous knowledge on math as she goes over the basics to ensure that you are building a solid foundation in math and not starting mid air. Her teaching method is hands on learning as she does not just lectures about the subject but instead encourages you to always try different problems. She also gives a lot of tips for memorizing different equations and concepts that are very useful. Unlike my school teacher, she is very welcoming as she cares a lot about her students since she always encourages me to ask her for help on problems even outside of our sessions. I also have a very busy schedule and she has always been able to accommodate to that. I would 100% recommend her! Trust me you will not regret it!
Samantha, 23 lessons with Gabriela
Excellent engagement
Gabriela enthusiastically engaged with my daughter in working through complex math problems to best prepare for her upcoming SAT exam. We will be using Gabriela's tutoring services again!
Sabrina, 8 lessons with Gabriela
Great teacher
Gabriela was very easy to talk to and helped me understand complex calculus topics, and my grade improved drastically after tutoring with her.
Esha, 7 lessons with Gabriela
9th grader loved her! Very effective communicator.
My daughter has struggled and always lacked confidence in math. Algebra was no different, we engaged Gabriela early in the 2nd semester. Our daughter went from a C- to a B is just a few months. She no longer feared new units. She said Gabriela explained topics in a manner that was much more easier to understand. She's great!

Wonderful tutor. Relates great to students and helps with all different levels of math. Reviews material and supports students who are lacking in certain unit areas. Thanks
Christine, 8 lessons with Gabriela
Excellent Tutor
My daughter just started tutoring with Gabriela. And she is building the confidence and skills to tackle harder math problems. She really loves her sessions so much she wished they were longer than an hour. So we are off to an awesome start!

Very patient and helpful
Gabriela helped my daughter with SAT word problems and she is very helpful and also gave good feedback after every class .
Suni, 19 lessons with Gabriela
Very patient!
I’m not the greatest at math and so she was super patient with me when it came to explaining concepts when I voiced I didn’t understand the initial approach. Overall she explains math in a very digestible way!
