He's a weird case where our education system here kept passing him even though he was failing math classes. He now cares and is trying to catch up. Thats 12hrs

  12hrs a day for a year? With no other education or pursuits? If he's a junior then doesn't he need his senior year to graduate? (I know there are exceptions, like entering college early without a HS degree, or dropping out of HS upon reaching sufficient age. I assume this is one of them.) It's very hard to offer any sort of guidance. It sounds very much like biting off more than he can chew. I was good at math, but even with years of math classes I found the first semester of calculus to be tough going. (It was an odd thing; I didn't understand the midterm that well, but within a couple of weeks it was all clear.) There are certainly people who just sit down and work through math problems. Dirac, for example, worked through math problems for his holidays. Ramanujan learned math almost entirely on his own. But these are the exceptions by far. Okay, so my suggestion is to go to a nearby college and ask for advice from the undergraduate math adviser.
