Hello to all! I have been a private tutor for over 33 years and tutor most general education subjects including three foreign languages (i.e., Spanish, Japanese, and Tagalog), but my forte is mathematics. With the many years of experiences that I have, I also have experience in working with students with varying disabilities. And the grade levels that I tutor in range from kindergarten through 12th as well as college, returning adults, and some graduate level tutoring (e.g., GRE prep).

I have been tutoring since I started my undergraduate physics degree in 2016. I am currently studying physics as a PhD student and have extensive knowledge in math and physics as well as some experience in computer science. I feel that every student is capable, often what is missing is individualized instruction in a way that makes sense to them. My favorite part of tutoring and teaching is seeing the student understand a new subject. The joy of learning something new is amazing....

Reviews for South Gate math tutors

Recent success stories from people in the South Gate area.
Pallu P.
Amazing! I was really struggling with both the mathematics section of the SAT and PCAT. Knowledge tutoring helped identify my weaknesses, and focus my time and energy in solving those types of problems - fast and efficiently. The strategy and approach is important to master, and those are the key takeaways I learned. Additionally, you want to work with someone that cares as much as you do. You need someone that is committed, energetic, and willing to put forth the time and energy to help you when you need assistance. Great tutor - would highly recommend!

Diego showed his skills as a tutor explaining a math theory to my son that he hardly understood before. Diego is so experienced, knowing that not everyone learns the same way, and he knew right away how to teach complex concepts so my son got them!

My daughter was nervous about tutoring, but Mr. G was fun and easy going - he definitely knows how to work with high schoolers. Throughout the year, he helped her understand some tricky Algebra 2 concepts, giving her the know-how and the confidence to do well in the class. He's personable, knowledgeable, and affordable - we'd give him 6 stars if we could!

What I loved about working with Luis was that he was really good at explaining how to solve a problem which would lead me to understand similar problems. He has a deep understanding of math, he would answer any questions I had without a problem. Another thing that was really helpful was his neat writing allowing me to be able to understand every step of the solution without getting confused. Overall Luis is an excellent tutor, if I had the chance I would definitely get tutored by him again.
