If the student needs calculus at all, they are better off beginning college work and studying under a professor or even beginning a work study. Taking calculus seems like they are aiming for a degree and you can achieve over 30 on ACT without calculus. I was accepted into every state college long before high school and long before calculus. Kids learn initially by their senses. If you are aware you will struggle with teaching them a subject, you can easily adapt by emphasizing that early on, whether a foreign language or mathematics.
And a kid who can't teach themselves (self-study) is already struggling. They need to be taught how to articulate questions properly at that point and be instilled the drive to find answers. This is coming from the perspective of an ESL tutor and tutor for those who were affirmative actioned into college and could not read or write above 4th grade level.
