My daughter has been receiving math tutoring from Mr. Laiche for three years. She started with compact math in middle school, moved on to geometry in high school, and now takes Algebra 3/4. She enjoys her time with Mr. Laiche, feels comfortable with him, and is able to keep up with her classes. Mr. Laiche explains math problems clearly during their sessions and is available outside of tutoring for any additional questions. He also uses online whiteboard notes, which are available after the tutoring session. Recently, a classmate has started joining the tutoring sessions and has found them to be successful. I highly recommend Mr. Laiche as a math tutor!

Drew was an awesome summer math tutor for my Entering-2nd grade daughter who needed some additional help reviewing 1st grade number line and addition work!

After calling around a few places for a math tutor, Drew at Portland Math Tutoring was quick to respond with availability, prices & a thorough explanation as to what math tutoring will accomplish . With online schooling due to the pandemic, math started to be a struggle for our new middle-schooler. As parents, we had tried teaching to him ourselves, but essentially could not explain or even begin to understand the new Common Core math to help our son understand. After the first online session with Drew, our son felt very comfortable, because Drew was able to explain and connect with him about math. It's been a few months & our son is feeling confident in math & looks forward to his online sessions. Drew is a professional with clear communication & I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a math tutor.

Drew has been amazing! Professional, easy to work with, and helped my daughter gain confidence in her math skills.
She said “Drew is super nice and patient. He helped me to understand the material when it was complicated, and would try different techniques if I wasn’t understanding right away. He also laughed at my jokes and made the time fly by….😊 “ Highly Recommend!!!

Mr. Laiche is nice and easy to work with. He taught me a lot during my pre-calculus semester. His online whiteboards are useful because you can reference past work and he is always available for questions, even during non-tutoring hours. I highly recommend!

My son started his private lessons with Drew in August 2020 with a low B bordering on C at the end of his 7th grade. Within 5 months, he has made significant improvement in his math with a solid B+/A. He has gained more confidence and interest in math. We are all very pleased with his progress and appreciative of Drew’s expertise, patience and effective teaching.

Drew has a great rapport with our 13-year old son who is geeking out on math. He looks forward to his tutor sessions with Drew and seems to absorb everything he is learning. We have even recommended Drew to a couple other families who are equally pleased with their kids’ improvement in math.

Thank you Drew! We have had a wonderful experience with Drew as two of my daughters' (7th and 12th grade) math tutor for a year now. He is always professional, on time, provides content and knows how to motivate my girls to do better.
He was able to pivot to an online platform almost instantly when the pandemic stopped our ability to meet in person and we appreciate his efforts and success with that change.
My girls have seen amazing results from their weekly meetings with Drew and they have continued to increase their individual abilities in math and in the language of math. I have full faith in Drew's ability to aid my children in becoming more confident and successful in the subject of math at any level while learning to enjoy the subject as well.
