I'm sure it's much more satisfying to teach a "really good" student, but even we slow learners learn a lot from taking lessons. Your efforts make a real difference in how well we can play and how much we enjoy playing music - even if we play in a community band instead of a major symphony.
Also, I'd ask you to remember that students don't always show you how much they are learning while you are teaching them - the progress may come later. Please don't be discouraged and keep on teaching.
