    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.

    My daughter had been doing Kumon for a few years and was finding it hard to stay motivated. We decided to try a tutor and found Mr. Drew Laiche, of Portland Math Tutor. Wow! What a great change in her attitude and interest in math. I'm 100% confident she will be set for the challenges of high school math and physics. Great teacher and great business. I recommend Mr. Laiche exponentially!

    Drew worked with my daughter entering 5th grade over the summer. She enjoyed her meetings with him and is headed off to school confident and excited for math which is a first. Thanks Drew!

    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.

    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.

    In the middle of 7th grade, our son fell behind in math, and was embarrassed to ask for help. We tried to mentor him, but found it extremely frustrating to productively teach him ourselves. I immediately searched for a math tutor and found Drew, he has mentored my son now for over two years. We are beyond grateful for his expertise. He not only is an excellent teacher, he makes math fun. My son looks forward to the math sessions with Drew. Drew is very familiar with the PPS math curriculum. Above and beyond math, he is reliable, organized, professional, kind, and builds his student's confidence. My son's math grades are A's. I can't say enough good things about our experience with him. Thank you Drew!
