This week, we have a story that comes to us from Nanaimo, BC. The author, Crystal Carson, lives on her own. Crystal has a wonderful pet cat named Cuddles. Crystal is an adult learner and she is a hard worker. She is working with her new tutor Gord to finish her grade 10 to 12, in math.

Dear Kathy

by Crystal Carson

Thank you so much for being my math tutor. I think you are awesome, kind, patient, helpful, understanding toward me. The way you taught me you also explained and showed me do different math problems together. You always gave me good feedback to see how I was doing.

Crystal and her famous Carson Cat, Cuddles hope to have Kathy back in the fall as Crystal’s tutor. We both had good times, and shared laughter working as a team.
