We had a young bloke start at CSIRO. He was very bright. He overnight solved a problem that had eluded electron microscopists for decades. How to generate an accurate 3D image from a series of 2D projections at different angles.
He had better mathematical tools and a very bright mind.
I really used to enjoy teaching him as he learnt everything I knew by lunchtime nearly everyday. That gave us heaps of time to go to the pub.

I would leave this kid to develop at his own pace. Not to be some sort of circus performer for us unwashed masses.
