How good a student was Einstein and who helped him formulate the Theory of Relativity?

Albert Einstein, the mind that revolutionized science with the Theory of Relativity, is often described as “the genius who challenged the education system.” But was he really a bad student, as is often said? And who was the person who helped him shape one of the most important theories in human history?
The myth that Albert Einstein was "bad at school" has often been repeated.
In fact, he was an excellent student in mathematics and physics, but he had difficulty with the traditional discipline of teaching and did not like to learn by heart.
At the age of 16, he was expelled from school for inappropriate behavior, but not for lack of intelligence. He then entered the Federal Polytechnic School of Zurich (ETH Zurich), where he graduated as a mathematics and physics teacher in 1900. Professors described him as brilliant in technical subjects, but inattentive to schedules and authority.
Who helped Einstein formulate the Theory of Relativity?
Although the Theory of Relativity was signed by Einstein alone, many historians believe that his first wife, Mileva Marić, played an important role in the initial stages of its development. Mileva, a physics graduate from the same university, was one of the few female scientists of her time and the wife with whom Einstein shared his passion for mathematics and physics.
In some early letters between them, Einstein refers to “our theory of relative motion,” suggesting that the original idea may have been an intellectual collaboration. However, Mileva never received formal recognition for her contribution — a fact that continues to be debated by science historians today.
After graduating, Einstein did not immediately find a job in academia. He worked at the patent office in Bern, where in his spare time he developed the theories that would later make him famous. In 1905, called the “annus mirabilis” (year of miracles), he published four scientific papers, including one on Special Relativity, which forever changed the way humanity understands space and time.
Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921, and has since become a symbol of human genius. But behind his story lies a powerful message: brilliance comes not from obeying the rules, but from the courage to think differently.
