How do i deal with the hands pushing off my body when passing guard?

I roll with someone who constantly keeps me at bay by pushing off with his hands when i try to get into side control from passing the gaurd, the problem is that he keeps pushing off and putting his knee close ot his body to block and when i look up guard pass videos to help or advice online it usually shows the gaurd pass technique without ever telling what to do about the hands, its as if there hands didn;t exsist when they were doing the technique. If anyone has some video links or something of that nature it would be really helpful thanks!
