Teach him to think through his moves and how to use his time.
Teach him tactics.
Teach him positional play (improving piece activity by placing his pieces in squares where they are either defending or attacking or setting them up for an attack or tactical play)
Thats it really. Use less time in the opening and more time in the middle game and endgame. Its how I got decent.';
