    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!

    I came to Drew at the end of my term and he really helped me prepare for my final. We went over review and practice problems and he helped me through them. I felt super confident after all my sessions that I understood the material and felt confident going into the exam. I definitely will be working with him again.

    Drew is a great instructor! He communicates difficult concepts in a clear and understandable manner. During a time when schools are struggling to properly teach students Drew is able to connect and educate his students. My child has seen remarkable improvement and new found confidence since starting with Drew.

    The kind of math tutor I wish I had when I was in school. Drew is excellent in every way. Deliberate, clear, and calming. He provides a wealth of supplemental material and teaches in a refreshingly clear and concise way.

    Drew is a very talented tutor for math. He worked with my daughter over the past two years and she really appreciated his support. He allowed my daughter to decide where to spend their time during each session and had her solve problems in front of him to confirm her understanding of key concepts. He is very good at providing a visual representation of the concept he is teaching. I highly recommend Drew to any family looking for a math tutor for their child.

    Mr. Laiche tutored our 8th grade daughter along with two friends for about 6 months to give her and them better support than they were able to get through their own math class. These comments also reflect her input. Mr. Laiche was responsive, kind, and able to zero in immediately on their needs. He was good at delivering feedback in a constructive way and allowed room for questions. He provided a good balance of promoting the kids to figure things out independently but with good instruction. He engaged the kids personably but with the right mix that focused mostly on math. We highly recommend him! They are definitely ready for high school math because of him!!

    We’ve seen huge progress in our daughter (8th grade, PPS) since joining up with Drew! We transitioned from another tutor and noticed an immediate difference in her attitude and confidence.

    The online tutoring setup has been a great fit, even after returning to in-person classes. It’s also been super convenient for our busy schedule, even taking tutoring sessions while traveling.

    Drew follows the same methods as the classroom to keep things consistent… takes a holistic approach to best support her learning style/needs… identifies learning gaps and goes back to (re)build that foundation… strikes the right balance of kindness, patience, fun, and accountability… and has been extremely flexible and reliable with us as parents.

    We would 1000% recommend Drew!

    We're so grateful for Mr. Laiche! My daughter is a strong student, but struggled in Pre Calculus. Mr. Laiche worked with her weekly, and his support made all the difference in her understanding and mastery of the material.
