This sounds like it's the teacher's job to motivate the student. We've
been around that bush before. It may take special talent to discover how
to help a student tap into what drives her, but the motivation itself lies
within the student.

This is on the beam. So many people and jobs don't match because the
person didn't evaluate the job well in relation to the self (or vice
versa). I would quibble with the "whatever is necessary" phrase, but the
point about commitment is well taken.
