    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.

    One of the greatest math tutors in Portland and very flexible with scheduling and times! He is a very good one on one tutor and really prepares students for success in whatever math their in. He was able to help me develop math skills such as basic algebra, problem skill techniques, writing each step and problem so I could follow along with my own work, and he helped build confidence in knowing how to do different variations of problems. Overall I think he can help your son/daughter in a way to develop good habits for the future! I worked with Drew from middle school and now I'm going into AP calculus next year. Great tutor!

    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 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!!!

    Mr Laiche has been tutoring our daughter started in mid of her 8th grade and now she is a Freshman in High School. Her grade had improved significantly when she finished the 8th grade year. Mr Drew's kindness, patient and tutoring style have help our daughter gain more confidence in herself, she is at ease with her current Geometry. Thank you Mr Laiche

    Thank you Drew! We have had a wonderful experience with Drew as two of my daughters' (7th and 12th grade) math tutor for a year now. He is always professional, on time, provides content and knows how to motivate my girls to do better.
    He was able to pivot to an online platform almost instantly when the pandemic stopped our ability to meet in person and we appreciate his efforts and success with that change.
    My girls have seen amazing results from their weekly meetings with Drew and they have continued to increase their individual abilities in math and in the language of math. I have full faith in Drew's ability to aid my children in becoming more confident and successful in the subject of math at any level while learning to enjoy the subject as well.

    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.
