I disagree on the school part. There are so many good resources available especially for Python programming. There's no way you need to pay for lessons. I don't think the kind of people you get teaching Python will be the most knowledgeable anyway.

But I would maybe recommend a good book if you're struggling.

Community college is still a thing, not expensive, and won’t make the mistake of teaching specifically Python. It also forces a schedule which is helpful in its own right.

What you just proposed is exactly what isn’t working for this person.
