      This paper calculates the growth rate of the tunnel number of \(m\)-small knots in compact connected orientable 3-manifolds in terms of their bridge indices. For beginners, it surveys prior results in this field and offers a couple of well-illustrated decompositions of the exteriors of such knots.
