In today's society, receiving a good education is a pivotal step to reaching your life goals. As a motivator, a trainer, and as a person who leads by example, I take pride into helping, educating and encouraging others who need my advice or assistance. In addition, I am also a good listener for those who need a good listening ear. One way that I help others is to tutor math students; from children who are in their early grade school years, to young adults seeking a higher education. I may not be a teacher or an educator by trade; however, my communication skills and my expertise with assisting others in need, along with my math skills, are more than sufficient to help a student improve his or her grades in mathematics.

During my years in the banking industry, I have acquired customer service and communication skills and I also learned to train and educate co-workers, internal and external customers on various processes and procedures. These skills are vital in tutoring students, especially a subject where many students struggle with. I started my tutoring business in 2012, and use the same approach when communicating with students and parents about providing assistance in the subject. Now that my tutoring business has become a full-time practice, I am able to provide the personal touch that a student needs to learn and eventually master this subject we call mathematics.

During my grade school years, I excelled in mathematics. In 8th grade, I was introduced to Algebra I, and finished my grade school days taking Trigonometry and Functions, in which I achieved grades of a B+ or higher. In my junior year in high school, I scored in the top 15 percent nationally in math on my SATs. During my two years at Howard University, I took Calculus, which was a little more challenging, but it sharpened my math skills to a greater extent.

In my adult years, as I gained experience in dealing with people from a personal and business standpoint, I helped family members and friends with their math problems as a courtesy.

Elementary (K-6th)

I currently tutor students in Elementary math, from 1st to 6th grade. When tutoring a child that is currently in grades kindergarten through 6th grade, I test the child's skills in the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). If there is a weakness in calculating any of those operations, I have the expertise to help the child improve his or her math grade. With a young child, a tutor has to show patience, because a child can: 1) get easily distracted by his or her surroundings, and 2) young children tend not to learn a process as quickly. My credentials prove that I am more than capable of tutoring a young child in Elementary Math.

FIRST LESSON SUCCESS-MY GRANDSON WANTS ANOTHER LESSON

Mr, Rodney L is the BEST! My grandson HATES math and really struggles with it. This was his first lesson, and at the end of the lesson my grandson came to me and said "I get to have another lesson with Mr. Rodney" THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Mr. Rodney L is a very patient tutor. My grandson at first was very apprehensive as his regular 2nd grade teacher does not take the time to explain the concept and he is reluctant to ask for help because of the reaction he gets from the teacher. BUT Mr. Rodney gained my grandson's trust with his patience. I am thankful and looking forward to more lessons and even more excited that my grandson is looking forward to them. I know in time he will gain mastery over the concepts he struggles with. Thank you MR. RODNEY L.

Mr. Rodney - great tutor so far!

Mr. Rodney’s first lesson with Nick went well. Nick is behind in several math areas and Mr. Rodney is exactly what I hoped for. He is patient with Nick while still being a teacher that expects responses and effort from the student even if they don’t completely understand. I hope Mr. Rodney and Nick will work together through the whole school year.

Professional and encouraging tutor

My son is in 8th grade Accelerate Math class, but he was struggling because his school teacher didn’t explain concepts in enough detail. His scores started to drop, so we decided to try lessons with Mr. Rodney after reading many good reviews. My son is extremely satisfied. He says Mr. Rodney is very patient and explains everything slowly and clearly, which makes it much easier to understand. He now wants to continue studying with Mr. Rodney regularly. I’m truly happy because it feels like the problem we had been worrying about is finally solved.

Wonderful tutor - highly recommend!

Rodney worked with our son who was in 3rd grade and struggling with math. they met weekly for 18 weeks, and over that time our son became more confident and was able to understand and apply math concepts much better. Highly recommend Rodney - wonderful tutor.

Helped improve my daughter's math scores

I appreciate all the work Rodney has done with my 4th grade daughter. Her math skills have improved greatly and her math NWEA MAP scores improved significantly between fall and winter when she was working with him.

Great Tutor - Helped Improve My Son's Retake Test Score

Rodney helped improve my son's 7th-grade math test score from 45% to 87%. I shared the teacher's notes on what was being covered in class, and Rodney used them to focus on key concepts during a one-hour tutoring session. Afterward, I asked my son if he felt more confident in the material, and he said, "Yes"—his retake test score proved it.

Very patient with his students

Our daughter had her first tutorial session with Mr. Rodney and she really enjoyed his method of teaching and how patient he was during the session. We will be scheduling another lesson with him.
