Do you remember the time when a math problems looked like a jigsaw puzzles with missing pieces? When equations seemed like a secret code impossible to crack? When the excelling in math felt like an unscalable wall?
That’s the reality for many middle schoolers. It’s no secret that math can be a challenging subject – abstract, complicated, and, let’s face it, not always taught in a way that students can readily understand. The anxiety of math can be a daily struggle, and falling behind can seem inevitable. But what if there were a solution to this problem?
Welcome to Portland Math Tutor, LLC, your lifeline in the world of math education. Founded in 2016 by myself, Drew Laiche, a licensed teacher in Oregon with an endorsement in Advanced Mathematics. I have built a reputation for building students confidence in math transforming the way middle and high school students approach the subject.
Tutoring sessions at Portland Math Tutor, LLC are much more than simple one-on-one instruction. Students recieve a comprehensive math learning experience that includes supporting guided notes, practice materials as printable PDFs with answer keys, and access to an online whiteboard, which archived for future reference.
A key differentiator of our service is the use of online math assessments and progress monitoring software. These tools allow us to personalize the tutoring experience for each student, setting specific, achievable goals and regularly evaluating progress.
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!
