Let me help your student build stronger math skills and greater confidence today.
About the tutor
My name is Rodney Little Jr. I am originally from Wilmington, Delaware, but now I make my residence in Newark, Delaware. Math has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a grade‑school student, I earned straight As in math (with the exception of Geometry), and as a child, I genuinely loved working with numbers.
That passion followed me into adulthood. I became the go‑to person for family, friends, and colleagues who needed help understanding math concepts. During my years in corporate America, I trained employees on various processes within the company — experience that strengthened my ability to teach clearly, patiently, and effectively. I bring those same skills into every tutoring session.
In 2012, I founded Math Made Easy of Delaware. What began as a part‑time passion grew into a full‑time mission in 2020 during the pandemic. Today, I dedicate my career to helping students build confidence, master essential math skills, and succeed academically.

my approach to a successful tutoring session
Build rapport
My goal is to provide a positive and enlightening experience for the student. The student will then be open to learning new concepts. Communication is the key.
understand the basics
The basics start with understanding arithmetic. Mastering arithmetic provides a gateway to learn more complex math topics such as fractions, decimals, and algebra.
communicate and participate
A student who is willing to communicate his/her struggles with math, and participate in learning the steps to solving a math problem will improve. Communication + participation
= growth.
Ask for help and ask questions
A student becomes truly empowered asking for help when a math concept does not make sense. Asking questions about a math concept show curiosity and engagement on the student's behalf.
What my clients say about my sessions
I cannot express how grateful my husband and I are to have such a wonderful tutor for our son. My son has come a long way in math because of Rodney. His grades say it all. He went from D’s to A’s. Rodney has been my son’s tutor for over 6 years now, and we plan to continue his tutoring until my son graduates. We honestly don’t know what we would have done without Rodney. Our tutors in the past didn’t seem to make the difference that Rodney did. Rodney uses his own learning technique that is unique to each child’s learning style. This is very important to our son in how he learns and applies his skills. I would highly recommend Rodney as a tutor for your child. I promise you will not be disappointed.

I am pleased to recommend Mr. Rodney for his outstanding work as a math tutor for my son. Throughout the time he has worked with him, he has consistently demonstrated exceptional patience, deep mathematical knowledge, and a genuine commitment to helping my son succeed. What stands out most is his ability to explain complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand. He takes the time to ensure my son fully grasps each topic before moving on, creating a supportive learning environment where questions are always encouraged. His patient and encouraging approach has helped build my son's confidence and reduced the frustration that can sometimes come with learning challenging material. Also, he works to identify and address gaps in understanding, ensuring that my son develops the solid foundation necessary for long-term academic success. This focus on fundamentals has made a noticeable difference in both his performance and confidence.

As a parent, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mr. Rodney and the positive impact he has had on my son's academic journey. For several years, Mr. Rodney has been a consistent source of support, guidance, and encouragement, helping my son build a strong foundation in mathematics and develop confidence in his abilities. Since working with Mr. Rodney, my son has consistently earned straight A's and has excelled in accelerated and honors-level math courses. What sets Mr. Rodney apart is not only his deep knowledge of math but also his ability to connect with students, break down complex concepts, and make learning both engaging and rewarding. Beyond the grades, Mr. Rodney has helped my son develop critical thinking skills, discipline, and confidence that extend far beyond the classroom. As my son prepares to enter 8th grade, I am grateful for the role Mr. Rodney has played in his academic success and growth. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Rodney to any parent seeking a tutor who is committed to excellence and truly invested in his students' success. His dedication, professionalism, and genuine care make him an exceptional educator/tutor.
