    5 star ratingMy son and I highly recommend Mr. Laiche. He has been tutoring my son in Pre-calculus for three months. During that time, he has gone from getting F's on his unit tests to getting B's. Mr. Laiche has been very patient and done an excellent job of breaking down the complex information and helping my son understand the material. He has always been prompt to appointments and very flexible with scheduling. My son would be failing math without his help. Thank you for all your help!

    Drew is very patient and communicates very well with my son. He is currently tutoring him in compacted 7th grade math. My son was having a hard time learning from his teacher and was worried he should be in a different class, but within a few lessons with Drew he was up to speed and maintaining a minimum of a B grade.

    The most helpful tutor I have ever had. He helped me learn every concept in a professional, helpful, and polite manner. He understands where you get stuck and really helps you learn the concepts.

    Drew is a great instructor! He communicates difficult concepts in a clear and understandable manner. During a time when schools are struggling to properly teach students Drew is able to connect and educate his students. My child has seen remarkable improvement and new found confidence since starting with Drew.

    My son is a freshman at Lincoln high school and is taking two advanced math courses. With the current restrictions on face-to-face or online teaching time we thought we would try a tutor. Mr. Laiche and his services are a great resource. He is very easy to work with and Andrew really enjoys his teaching style. We would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a little additional teaching for any reason.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
