I would like to translate this sentence into English.
El es mejor estudiante que tú.
And I have two options:
He is better student than you
He is a better student than you
Thank you for your answers, as always.

When we say what something is in English we always use "a" e.g. I am a student. I am a teacher.
So he is a better student than you. But he is better than you (at studying).
