A teachers job is to give the neccessary information and to act as a 'guide' but it's entirely up to student if he wants to learn anything or not. If a student fails a course it's just as much his fault as the teachers.
His parents don't seem to have very high expectations of him and I wonder what he does in school at all if he's not willing to learn.
I would continue to tutor him but I wouldn't have too much hope to change him. That's up to him and he have to learn to take some responsibility.
