About

Tutoring is more than simply understanding content, but rather mindfully learning how to learn and developing independence. My aproach is full of humor and unique ways to connect what you are learning to other subjects as well as daily life. Laughter is the key to accessing your full intellectual potential!

The subjects I specialize in are writing and music; however, we also guide students through test preparation and academic advising from middle school through college.

I was a band director 2017-2020 after receiving my Bachelor's degree in music education and my teaching credential from San Diego State University. My career has morphed into teaching multiple subjects and working in the freelance musician scene in LA.

Thanks for taking the time to read about Gabi Does! If you would like to learn more about us, visit gabidoes.com. Feel free to message us here or email us at [email protected] with any questions or requests.

The best part about being an educator is revealing to my students the talents that my students already have. It is human nature to feel uncomfortable with new topics, but my role is to show you how to use your own skills in any situation. Whatever subject we are working on just happens to be the vehicle for that.

    My daughter just started playing the saxophone in September and has improved so much with Gabrielas guidance. She is patient, but thorough. Gabriela gives assignments and motivates her to push herself. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor.

    She is very friendly, kind, and encouraging individual, you will have a fun learning experience with her and she’s more like a friend teaching you rather than just another music teacher.

    Gabi was literally the most amazing tutor I have ever had. She was very clear in her teaching and did a fantastic job simplifying topics for me to understand. She always offers multiple approaches to solutions and is great at explaining topics. She takes great care of her students and always has a positive attitude. I did my best in my course with her as my tutor.

    Frequently asked questions

    When a request is received, the first priority is to discuss the students goals and determine if we are a good fit. Once that has been determined, we will schedule our first lesson and create a plan based on the student's timeline. After all of the logistics are settled, we can get straight into the fun!

    After receiving my bachelor's degree in Music Education, I went on to earn my California teaching credential. I have a passion for professional development and have attended sessions on a wide range of topics including music, conflict resolution, and technology integration.

    Growing up, I always enjoyed helping my peers in school, especially in math. In fact, I first wanted to be a math teacher before I decided to pursue my music degree. During my senior year of high school, I was a teacher's assistant for a 9th grade algebra class. I ended up taking over the class multiple times and realized I had nack for it. I was a leader in band starting in 6th grade so I decided to make that my life, and here I am!

    At this stage, most of our students are seeking guidance in writing. The rest are either getting music lessons or tutoring in music theory. I recently worked with a 6 year old student on reading rhythm, but most of our students are in high school or college.

    Recently I worked with a student who was working on her dissertation proposal while on her path toward her doctoral degree. English was not her first language so my role was the writing expert and her role was the content expert. The most rewarding part of this was learning about a new topic that I never knew existed.

    As a student, your top priority when looking to hire a teacher, whether in writing, music, or any subject, is to be able to clearly articulate your goals. You also need to know what your main areas of improvement are so that once you get into the lesson, less time is spent figuring out where to start. This is crucial in maximizing you time and money!
