Tutoring Testimonials

Drew is a very effective and sensible tutor.
My son is able to maintain a steady pace of understanding in his math class, thanks to Drew.

Drew was great. Very communicative and clear in scheduling and rates. His approach during sessions was wonderful, leading the student to find solutions to understanding issues with sn encouraging outlook.

Drew is very patient, provides clear explanations of concepts and always made sure my 8th grader understood before moving on to the next topic. Sessions were flexible based on current needs and were always engaging.

I came to Drew at the end of my term and he really helped me prepare for my final. We went over review and practice problems and he helped me through them. I felt super confident after all my sessions that I understood the material and felt confident going into the exam. I definitely will be working with him again.

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.

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.

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!!!

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!

We’ve seen huge progress in our daughter (8th grade, PPS) since joining up with Drew! We transitioned from another tutor and noticed an immediate difference in her attitude and confidence.

The online tutoring setup has been a great fit, even after returning to in-person classes. It’s also been super convenient for our busy schedule, even taking tutoring sessions while traveling.

Drew follows the same methods as the classroom to keep things consistent… takes a holistic approach to best support her learning style/needs… identifies learning gaps and goes back to (re)build that foundation… strikes the right balance of kindness, patience, fun, and accountability… and has been extremely flexible and reliable with us as parents.

We would 1000% recommend Drew!
