    After calling around a few places for a math tutor, Drew at Portland Math Tutoring was quick to respond with availability, prices & a thorough explanation as to what math tutoring will accomplish . With online schooling due to the pandemic, math started to be a struggle for our new middle-schooler. As parents, we had tried teaching to him ourselves, but essentially could not explain or even begin to understand the new Common Core math to help our son understand. After the first online session with Drew, our son felt very comfortable, because Drew was able to explain and connect with him about math. It's been a few months & our son is feeling confident in math & looks forward to his online sessions. Drew is a professional with clear communication & I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a math tutor.

    Drew Laiche was recommended by a friend to tutor our kid in math during the pandemic. He is very personable, kind, funny, and most all, he had the ability to help our kid absorb math processes and problem solving skills during a time when absorbing any information is very difficult! We will definitely call him again in the future if needed. Highly recommend.

    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!

    Mr. Laiche was instrumental in catching our daughter up in Algebra after an extended illness that caused her to miss over a month of classes. He is well worth the investment!

    Mr. Laiche (Drew) has been a great addition to my daughter's (5th grade) learning. Seeing her confidence in math grow has been wonderful to watch.

    My son was falling behind in math in this year’s CDL format. He was frustrated and embarrassed. He wasn’t too happy getting math tutoring from mom. Drew stepped in once a week for the past 3 months and my son is enjoying math again! He’s doing well and feeling confident. Keeping Drew on board as a math tutor is a no brainer.

    Drew Laiche currently tutors my son in math. My son has always struggled with understanding and retaining math skills. Despite my son's resistance to math instruction in school, he enjoys his tutoring sessions with Drew. My son also struggles a great deal with focus and Drew is always upbeat and patient with him. I appreciate Drew's persistence and commitment to my son's education. He is easy to communicate with and has set up online instruction for my son to access from home. I highly recommend Drew 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.
