Drew has patiently worked with my child almost weekly since 2019 going into 8th grade and when she was in online school during the pandemic. He has provided consistent support for high school math, helping with review of material as well as preparation for tests and exams. I highly recommend the Portland Math Tutor.

Drew Laiche is an amazing teacher! He worked with my 14 year old son this summer to prep for high school math -- algebra and geometry.
Drew's style is easy going and he makes the lessons interesting so the concepts stick. He is patient and works with the student to make sure everything is clear before moving on to the next subject. It's the perfect amount of instruction for the child and I wish that we had found him sooner! I wholeheartedly recommend his services.

Our daughter is in 7th grade and taking Compacted Math via distance learning within PPS. Having Mr. Laiche as a tutor has helped tremendously and her confidence in math has increased as a direct result of Mr. Laiche’s guidance and explanations during the tutoring sessions. Excellent value for your time and money. We plan to continue her tutoring once in-person school resumes. Highly recommend!

Mr. Laiche was instrumental in catching our daughter up in Algebra after an extended illness that caused her to miss over a month of classes. He is well worth the investment!

Drew has been helping my son who is a Sophomore in Algebra 3-4 Analysis for over 2 months and his overall score has gone from a C to an A! Drew is easy to work with, dependable and his good reviews are spot on!

Drew was really able to connect with daughter and explain things in a way that made sense to her. He also had a wealth of practice materials for her use on any topic that came up. Definitely recommend him.

Mr. Laiche is patient and clear in his explanations of math with our middle school child who will not take math help from parents. We appreciate his familiarity with the PPS math curriculum. He is able to answer questions from during the week when topics are not covered clearly in our child's classroom instruction and helps to work ahead when possible.
