    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.

    In the middle of 7th grade, our son fell behind in math, and was embarrassed to ask for help. We tried to mentor him, but found it extremely frustrating to productively teach him ourselves. I immediately searched for a math tutor and found Drew, he has mentored my son now for over two years. We are beyond grateful for his expertise. He not only is an excellent teacher, he makes math fun. My son looks forward to the math sessions with Drew. Drew is very familiar with the PPS math curriculum. Above and beyond math, he is reliable, organized, professional, kind, and builds his student's confidence. My son's math grades are A's. I can't say enough good things about our experience with him. Thank you Drew!

    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.

    My daughter has been receiving math tutoring from Mr. Laiche for three years. She started with compact math in middle school, moved on to geometry in high school, and now takes Algebra 3/4. She enjoys her time with Mr. Laiche, feels comfortable with him, and is able to keep up with her classes. Mr. Laiche explains math problems clearly during their sessions and is available outside of tutoring for any additional questions. He also uses online whiteboard notes, which are available after the tutoring session. Recently, a classmate has started joining the tutoring sessions and has found them to be successful. I highly recommend Mr. Laiche as a math tutor!

    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.

    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!

    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.
