Human Factors
I am writing this report to report a near miss situation in the standard traffic pattern for Runway 27L at Gillespie Field. My student and I were practicing traffic pattern operations at SEE. After checking upwind ; crosswind; downwind; clear we made a left turn into the pattern for Runway 27L. When my student looked to check the distance from aircraft to [the] runway; he also looked back and noticed that there was another aircraft right on our tail - same altitude; less than 100 feet behind us - same altitude. Tower advised that [he] was too close to us and told them to offset to the south for spacing. Aircraft Y offset to the south towards our 5 o'clock position and we got cleared to land #2 for Runway 27L.
Instructor pilot reported an NMAC in the pattern at SEE airport.
