Teaching Idiots

[Peleus]

Firstly, not everyone is going to be a good poker play. Simply put, you have to want to play and improve yourself, before anything a teacher does will make a bit of difference. If he likes playing those two suited cards because they look good, he is going to do it.

Apart from that try explaining the WHY behind it. A lot of people won't follow your advice if they don't believe in it, sometimes explaining why you're doing something, can let them get a hold of the concept, and help him apply it to other things.
