Inept teacher

Wall after wall after wall after yet another wall.

4 walls = 1 square.

After walking into corners for so long, it's a little hard not to be subdued. Or disappointed. Or depressed, even. 鬼見多了,也都學會怕黑。And all I ever wanted were for those corners to be a little rounder instead of standstill sharp 100% of the time.

I may never know if I'm expecting way too much from her calibre, that I expect her to stand tall to my expectations and that she's as good as anyone else.

I do know that she's not the brightest of them all, she cannot recognize patterns to save her life, and everything must be the same before she will attempt them. But to ask for steps within steps is a little off, seriously. And chemistry is not like o level maths where you can memorize away. and write out the steps just changing the values. There are changes within chapters and questions.

I've totally run out of ideas. Dislike it as I may, I might have to admit to myself that I'm on the verge of giving up. On that edge. Save for hard memorizing which I've probably already proven that doesn't really work, I really don't know what else I can do. 

At the very end of it all, I would have failed as a tutor. In what capacity do I have to take in a student again if I should fail with this one? I've proven that I can't even do well 1-1, let alone taking a class of students.
