Narrative:
I was on a cross country flight with a student to lgb and we were proceeding to the lax special flight rules corridor. We were level at 3500 ft. Northwest of the santa monica VOR flying eastbound to intercept the smo 132 radial after flight following was canceled by socal approach. As we were flying eastbound a few minutes later; my student reported seeing a plane on the left. He stated that the plane was converging from the left and that it turned westbound to avoid our aircraft. I did not see the aircraft until it was behind us; but my student reported that it was close to us before it turned westbound.
