Buy CONDOR simulator program, USB stick and rudder pedals, and use the flight training part, in conjunction with your real-world training.

I'll second that. I'm currently training my son in gliders (13 years old). I introduce a concept (right now we're fine-tuning crosswind takeoffs and landings) in Condor. He practices a little during the week, and when we get to the airport on the weekend he's already been through the particular objectives several times. Plus, I can vary the conditions so he has to think through the situation.

I'm a CFI-G living in the same house as the student, so that provides some advantage. But, as long as you are diligent about process and pay attention to whatever syllabus you are using, sim time on Condor is hugely effective.
