About Gabe

A mentor, not just a tutor

Gabe started San Diego Tutors with a simple belief: students thrive when they have a consistent, trusted mentor who truly understands how they learn. After years of watching families juggle separate tutors for math, test prep, and college essays, he built a practice where one person can teach across subjects and guide the entire journey.

His background in Cognitive Science shapes how he diagnoses gaps, builds study plans, and helps students develop the confidence to tackle problems on their own. It's not about getting through tonight's homework. It's about building a student who can think.

SAT & ACT Specialist

Test prep rooted in understanding, not memorization

"I believe great tutoring isn't about giving students answers. It's about teaching them how to think independently and giving them the confidence to solve problems long after our sessions end."

Sessions emphasize critical thinking, problem solving, and long term understanding rather than memorization. The goal isn't just a better grade on the next test. It's a student who can approach any challenge with clarity and confidence.

Testimonials

What families are saying

"Through most of middle school my daughter's grades were dismal and consisted mostly of D letter grades. We weren't even sure if she'd be able to attend middle school graduation. Most of her grades were because of her inability to read. During the summer, before high school, she started receiving tutoring from Lindsey at San Diego Tutors. Now she has an A grade in a class and mostly B grades in her other classes. Yesterday she received her first 100% score on a writing assignment in years! It is incredible to see her confidence back!"

Nick P.

Parent

"Gabe helped me so much with Calculus in college, and we worked together to get my grade from a B- to an A. He focused on my strengths and learning styles specifically and helped close the gaps in areas I struggled with. I really appreciated his patience — he wouldn't end the session until we both felt confident that I understood the material. I highly recommend Gabe as a math tutor!"

Sierra T.

Student

"My son has been working with Gabe now for several weeks and has steadily improved with his math. My son feels confident after his tutoring sessions. Gabe is also very accommodating and flexible which is awesome with busy schedules and last minute changes. I highly recommend Gabe!"
