Drew is an amazing tutor, our son Ali has been struggling with Math ever since elementary school, we had worked with another tutor but not much changed with his challenges. I found Drew online, he sounded very professional and that was already confirmed when he showed up for the first session. We started seeing improvement in Ali after a month already, he started building confidence in math and was able to make connections which he was unable before. We are so thankful for the support that we are getting from Drew, he is an amazing tutor with positive & constructive approach.

Drew has been tutoring our 8th grade daughter with Algebra. My daughter says he explains concepts very well and works through problems with her in a way that really solidifies her understanding. She enjoys working with him and looks forward to her tutoring sessions!

Drew worked with my 13 year old daughter throughout the summer. This greatly improved her confidence and her aptitude. She had been taking algebra in 8th grade, during her sessions they dove into concepts she was struggling with working ahead to geometry. Definitely a very logical approach to tutoring, and my daughter listened to Drew, much more than me! I feel like he showed a great deal of patience, overall was a positive experience and worth the price.

Mr. Laiche has significantly improved my daughter's understanding of and grade in pre-calculus this year. He is highly professional, communicative and prompt, and my daughter has gained confidence in her math ability through their sessions together.

Highly recommend Mr. Laiche! He has been so great to work with remotely during the pandemic, and has really helped my middle schooler feel more confident about math. Mr. Laiche adjusts his lessons to accommodate what my child is working on at school, which has been incredibly helpful during this year of distance learning.

Drew’s materials and ways of explaining and showing processes have been really helpful and relevant to what I’ve been working on in class and he’s helped me understand the material a lot better.
