Drew has been great working with both of our sons for the last year & has been wonderful, patient & creative, especially with navigating distance tutoring. He is adaptable to school curriculum as well as other learning platforms. He understands the social-emotional aspects of math anxiety, and has been enormously helpful to us parents with adjusting to online learning. Very grateful to be working with Drew!

After calling around a few places for a math tutor, Drew at Portland Math Tutoring was quick to respond with availability, prices & a thorough explanation as to what math tutoring will accomplish . With online schooling due to the pandemic, math started to be a struggle for our new middle-schooler. As parents, we had tried teaching to him ourselves, but essentially could not explain or even begin to understand the new Common Core math to help our son understand. After the first online session with Drew, our son felt very comfortable, because Drew was able to explain and connect with him about math. It's been a few months & our son is feeling confident in math & looks forward to his online sessions. Drew is a professional with clear communication & I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a math tutor.

I had Drew as a tutor for about 8 months and he helped me so much at understanding my math better. He really helped me break down each question and help me better understand it. Would definitely recommend!

Drew has been an amazing support for my daughter. For the past few years he has helped her understand more of algebra and geometry with one-on-one sessions, personalized homework, access to focused online learning, and feedback. It has made such a difference. Thank you, Drew!

We have worked with Drew with our 12 year old son weekly for the last 4 months and have been so impressed and fortunate to have had him as part of our sons education. He has a great rapport with our child and we have seen positive results. He came highly recommended and we would without hesitancy pass on the recommendation.

Drew has been amazing! Professional, easy to work with, and helped my daughter gain confidence in her math skills.
She said “Drew is super nice and patient. He helped me to understand the material when it was complicated, and would try different techniques if I wasn’t understanding right away. He also laughed at my jokes and made the time fly by….😊 “ Highly Recommend!!!

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.

Mr. Laiche is a great tutor and has done such an excellent job helping our daughter through her Geometry class. With his help, she has received an A grade for the semester. She truly appreciates the thorough way in which he explains new concepts and how he breaks them down to simplify them. In addition to that, he is very responsive, punctual, and makes online learning easy. If you’re in need of a tutor, Mr. Laiche is a fantastic choice!
