For your own health and happiness, you might want to consider letting go of this case if it becomes clear that no amount of hard work you put in is going to result in any difference to his performance.

Unfortunately this is not an option. I teach at an institute and he is part of one of my learning groups. He has purchased his courses and somebody's gonna have to teach him. My bad that my boss decided it should be me but I can't change anything about it.

I've already consulted my colleagues (who taught him first) and my boss about telling his parents that their son knows diddly-squat of the English language. They told me they had already tried but as long as he does not fail exams at school the parents are happy and not to be convinced to influence their child respectively.
