He was a mediocre student for many years: achieving unremarkable grades across the board at IGCSE level. He was reticent, stealthy and seemed somewhat shy. At IB Diploma level, however, things seemed to change. His personality remained somewhat the same as it always had, but his grades were increasing at a surprising rate. In the end, he achieved the highest score in the whole school for his IB Diploma, and was well-above the world average.
How many times has this happened to you as a teacher: a student shows improvement over time and even surprises you with how much progress they make? Some grow slowly and steadily like a plant that is regularly fed and watered. I believe strongly in the power of patience when working with students. This takes emotional control on the part of the teacher, but the reward is well-worth the wait.
