Drew is a very effective and sensible tutor.
My son is able to maintain a steady pace of understanding in his math class, thanks to Drew.

Drew is very patient and communicates very well with my son. He is currently tutoring him in compacted 7th grade math. My son was having a hard time learning from his teacher and was worried he should be in a different class, but within a few lessons with Drew he was up to speed and maintaining a minimum of a B grade.

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.

Mr. Laiche has been tutoring my two daughters (9 and 10) since school started this year. He is patient, friendly and unflappable! Both girls have been learning a lot, and the best part about it is that they seem to enjoy their math lessons. I can't recommend Mr. Laiche enough!

Great experience for my high schooler. He has a great rapport and ability to help teens grasp math concepts.

Drew has worked with our sixth grade son over the past year and has been wonderful--patient and warm and funny. My son is a bit slow to warm up and shy but after each session wraps up, he seems excited about what they covered and where he's at. Their working together has no doubt made a significant difference in terms of where my son's mathematical understanding is at now--we're grateful we found Drew!
