I went to Harvard (Biology major, graduated cum laude). My day job is in investment banking/consulting, but I've always been passionate about education. So I started teaching and tutoring students on the side. Parents love what I do because I am laser focused on results and helping students achieve their very best academic work. Students love working with me because I take the time to listen and understand where they're coming from and I explain difficult concepts in a simple way. WHAT DO ...

Gil is a wonderful tutor. He is patient, accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Math is not my daughter's forte, but Gil has helped her out tremendously! Fingers crossed she aces her statistics final!

Gil was awesome helping me thoroughly understand the concepts of precalculus. I am one of those students who just does not get math, and having already taken precalculus before and receiving an F in it, my deepest fears were justified. However, this time I had Gil helping me with my precalculus class over summer session II at UCI (which, for those of you who don't know, is no joke). Despite having a busy schedule (and rightfully so, he is THAT good), Gil was always willing to work around to accommodate me, even going so far as to meeting up at 7 am at Starbucks to help me prepare for a quiz that day! He really broke it down for me and explained each concept thoroughly from the beginning and made sure that I understood the topic covered before we moved on. With his guidance throughout those 5 weeks, I was able to successfully pass my precalculus class with an A-!!! That is HUGE improvement for me and I was delighted when I finally saw that all the handiwork paid off. I will be taking calculus next and I will definitely be receiving tutoring from Gil again! He's one of the best!

My son has always struggled with math even though he has had tutors and one-on-one teacher instruction. So, when it came time for SAT testing, I knew that we needed someone that could help him from a different perspective (e.g., specific math instruction for the SAT test) and to arm him with test taking strategies as well. When I saw Gil's qualifications on WyzAnt, although he was expensive, it seemed like he would be the one that could identify my son's math issues and gear the tutoring accordingly. I have not been disappointed. My son has been working with Gil for several weeks now and I see a noticeable improvement in my son's math skills, including his grades at school which have significantly improved. My son has now asked me to continue the tutoring sessions so he can be a "Wyz" (wiz) at math for college. Thanks Gil.

My daughter responds well to some tutors and not to others - depends on their style of teaching. She responded to Gil's patient and gentle yet thorough mannerism.

Extremely helpful! Very patient and encouraging. Explains complex topics very well and is very easy to reach both by email and phone. Best tutor I have had in a very long time!
Shari M. from Fontana, CA
My son's SAT score increased by almost 500 points to a 2240! The help Gilmore provided was invaluable. From the very first lesson, we could see results. His knowledge of the subjects and his approach were excellent. I especially appreciated that although Gil is obviously very intelligent, he neither talked down to or over the head of my son. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend his services!
Karen M. from Newport Beach, CA
My daughter said Gilmore is a terrific math tutor, patient and knowledgeable. In addition, he answers emails about scheduling very quickly. We highly recommend him.
Rachel K. from Newport Beach, CA
Gil was great. He really helped me understand different concepts efficiently and effectively. Our first meeting was very productive and he provided me tips with his follow up email. I look forward to future sessions!
Rhonda F. from Costa Mesa, CA
Gil has been working with my honors pre-calculus student for a little over a month and has done a great job in covering an immense amount of material and putting it into an understandable format. My student has a lot more confidence in his ability to retain and understand the subject matter, and was able to boost his grade in that class. In addition, my student has said that Gil gave him many invaluable tips on test taking that he was able to apply to other classes. As a result, he has improved his overall test scores. Gil also has a lot of experience with the SAT exam prep. Gil is professional, has a great personality, is always on time, and is easily accessible. We highly recommend him!!
Christy C. from Irvine, CA
He didn't just give my daughter practice tests, grade results and go over what she missed. He did an analysis of when she missed questions. He then defined what triggers to watch for that effect her focus and ways to get back on track. I could not be happier with how her progress is tracking.
Nicole B. from Laguna Niguel, CA
Gil was very easy to reach by email and able to schedule with us quickly. AP Stats is not an easy subject to tutor. Gil was very knowledgeable and patient. We plan to use him again when needed.
Jesse C. from Costa Mesa, CA
Gilmore has completely turned my daughter's confidence around. She was frustrated and on the brink of losing confidence. I turned to Gilmore to help her out and he did not disappoint. He was very patient and was able to help her make sense of the material. Right away she came back with better test results and much better reports to me about how her test went. I was so relieved to hear the happiness in her voice. I highly recommend Gilmore to anyone who reads this and is in need of tutoring!

Gilmore taught me a lot and how to expand my writing abilities. He helped tremendously on my college application essays. He is amazing.
Omaima S. from Irvine, CA
Gilmore is very patient and knowledgeable. He does a great job with helping the student think and understand what they are reading.
Mary Ann N. from Santa Ana, CA
Words cannot describe how helpful Gilmore has been in setting our daughter down a better path for Honors Chemistry. He explains concepts beautifully and engages the student in an enthusiastic manner so they stay fixated on the material.
Caroline C. from Corona Del Mar, CA
He has helped me in more than just sat test prep, but has taught me skills I can use in my classes at school. With only meeting with him 3 times my math score went up 120 points!
David G. from Anaheim, CA
Our daughter got back her first AP Chemistry test since she started working with Gilmore, and she get an "A". She feels like she is really understanding it for the first time thanks to his help.
