Elite Math Science Tutors

I have two new unexpected openings for 2025 - 2026! Two of my students wanting spots with me had very limited availability, so I had to waitlist them: If I can be of service to you this year, now is the time to call!
I'm a local Santa Monica classroom and private teacher & tutor and have been supporting Santa Monica students for quite a few years now. I have a waiting list for most of the year but currently have a few openings to replace my seniors. My schedule is usually full before school starts, so this is a great time to secure a spot for the 2025 - 2026 academic year.
I know the math & science classes at Lincoln, JAMS & SAMOHI exceptionally well, and additionally have supported many students from the top local private schools including Harvard Westlake, Brentwood School, Windward, Geffen, Crossroads, Marlborough, Archer, and many others.
Call me at 424-253-6373 so that I can learn more about your son / daughter and his / her needs.
If you are a Santa Monica resident you likely know at least a few families that I either currently work with or have worked with in the past.
I work primarily with AP / Honors high school students and accelerated middle school students. My students are very motivated with solid GPAs.
Many become valedictorian candidates in their senior year of high school. I currently have one opening for a new student and will be adding a few more to my schedule after the AP tests are completed.
I start with many of my students in middle school and privately teach them a variety of math & science classes every year until their senior year of high school.
I teach all math from 6th grade math through AP Calculus BC, as well as chemistry, physics, and biology (All AP level.) Additionally, I cover SAT / ACT prep.
Please call me M - F in the morning so that I can learn more about your son / daughter and his / her needs. My number is 424-253-6373.
New students should ideally be very motivated "A" students with a minimum of a B in their math /science classes (unless there are extenuating circumstances such as prolonged absence.)
Thanks so much, and I look forward to your call!
Gordon

One of my great students wrote this for me to post. She will be graduating this year and off to UCLA!
Gordon is a great tutor. He’s really good at reading people and can tell when you need time to process a tricky concept or when you need a different explanation. Things that are overwhelming in class become simple and manageable during a tutoring session. Plus, he knows all the teachers at SAMOHI and is very familiar with the curriculum. Most of the time he knows the subject I’m doing next in class before I do! Even if you understand that week's topics, you can get ahead and feel comfortable in your classes. I really feel as though he is a huge contributing factor to my excellent test scores and grades in AP Calc BC and AP Chemistry. Those classes killed me and I always looked forward to meetings with Gordon so I could ask questions about the assignments that confused me. He always does his best to help you deeply understand everything, whether that be sketching pictures or simplifying definitions. I would definitely recommend using Gordon as your tutor.
