    Drew has worked with our sixth grade son over the past year and has been wonderful--patient and warm and funny. My son is a bit slow to warm up and shy but after each session wraps up, he seems excited about what they covered and where he's at. Their working together has no doubt made a significant difference in terms of where my son's mathematical understanding is at now--we're grateful we found Drew!

    Our son has thrived in his advanced Algebra analysis class in high school because of Drew. He went from a C to straight A's the whole year. The online platform is fantastic and easy to navigate. Drew is easy to communicate with. We highly recommend him and are very grateful for his help!

    We reached out to Drew for help getting our daughter through pre-calculus and we couldn't be happier with the results. He is extremely patient and met her where she was at which helped her succeed in getting caught up and staying there! Our only regret is that we didn't do it sooner!

    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!

    Drew is fantastic! We worked with him for the first time thru all of distance learning and will continue with him once the girls are back in school as well. He’s very patient and communicative. Our oldest daughter chose to switch to compact math because she “felt more confident” since starting math tutoring with Drew, and our youngest “doesn’t hate math anymore” :) We highly recommend Drew - in fact our 2 closest family friends use him too.

    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!!!

    My daughter and I are so thankful for your help. I was so impressed with how professional you work. We have used multiple tutors in the past. You have been the best by far.

    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.
