Sunil - Good News

In June I told you that Sunil wrote three more of his grade 10 exams. We did not expect to get the results until August, but we have them already.

Sunil passed two of the three exams. He passed English and Business. He did not pass by a huge margin, but that doesn't matter. The important thing is - he passed.

He certainly has the ability to pass the last exam - Math.
He indicated he was nervous and unable to concentrate enough to do good work.
But - he is so committed to this process; he immediately registered to take the math exam again in October 2010.
We may have our first Grade 10 graduate by the end of 2010.
WOW

Tania is here in Canada now. Her physio is proceeding at a very good pace, and she is already walking without crutches. She only uses the crutches if she is going to be in a large crowd of people.
She has set up a schedule for tutoring Sunil on Skype. She will tutor him at 1AM to 4AM our time -the middle of the afternoon for Sunil. She wants to make sure that Sunil is ready in October to write his exam. There was also several chapters that they didn't cover in their previous work together, so this will allow him to complete the work.
It's a good job Tania is a night owl. This schedule doesn't seem to bother her.

The schedule also allows her to connect with Vinita - the boss in India when Tania is in Canada - and teach a couple of other classes as well.

Isn't Skype wonderful.
