Mr. Jim

As a supplement to the school curriculum, we've looked for a math tutor for Bryce, and found a gem in our Mr. Jim. Jim and Ann are in their 70's, and have been involved in education all their lives. They have been teaching and tutoring for most of their lives, and are super knowledgeable.

Bryce and Mr. Jim have been working together twice a week for the past two months or so. They play math games, work on addition and multiplication, and finish with a game of chess. They really seem to enjoy each other when I come in to pick them up. Plus, Mr. Jim has a wonderful little white poodle named Dulce, who Bryce gets to pick up, hug, and take for little walks. Bryce has learned a ton, and according to Mr. Jim has advanced beyond his grade level.

Today was Bryce's last session with Mr. Jim. We thanked him and exchanged presents. Mr. Jim is yet another nugget in San Miguel - for the right, lucky kids.
