Get another textbook that might explain that thing better. Or watch a yt video about it if it's fairly low level. Also if you've been studying for 6+ hours that day I'd probably just take it as a sign to call it a day

Find a private tutor.
Or ask a classmate to borrow their notes.

YouTube videos is good. Videos on subjects or full length lectures from different universities.

skim for key words and go straight to practice problems

Find more YouTube videos there are always more.
Study the exercise problems not the text then you'll learn everything you need to know.

Translation: OP isn't looking for general knowledge, OP is looking very explicitly for a step-by-step solution to a particular problem.

Make an outline. Put the words, sentence by sentence, into your own words. Obviously, this gets harder the more technical you get, but it helped me through undergrad.

Easy solution.
Create your own problems and prove the idea works. A variable is basically a label of a mystery box, each math problem the number in the mystery box changes. An X+Y=7 problem is two mystery boxes.

Let's say you want to prove X=4.
If you know the generic idea, think of [X] as a box labeled X. Now add your math. You know X=4, so how can you create math problems from that? Let's add 4 to X=4 in a way that it's an algebra problem. X+0=4, now add 4 to both sides. X+4=8. What if we mix in a 3 times multiplier?
3*(X+4)=3*8 which becomes 3X+12=24 now you've created a math problem. You know X=4, so feed that in by replacing X to get 12+12=24.

If you don't understand the concept, reverse it by creating solvable problems. So afterwards you can understand it doing the textbook way or internet way.

Active reading. Summarize concepts in a notebook. Do the proofs and examples in the text.

It can be difficult job to do problems if you can't understand what you have just read. Try to find tiktok video of the subject. If not found,forget the college and play some mind numbing FPS game

Everything you need to know to solve the exercises, that is.

Yes, but enough to pass. Hopefully and ideally he can build up from there.

I have a similar problem. After trying to learn something, sometimes it takes a few day and a couple of re-readings in order for information to sink in. I don't know if that's how learning works or I'm just not smart enough.

The problem is more likely understanding many words all at once when a textbook puts a bunch of new concepts together in a logical sentence/structure, it can be hard to parse even if I know the individual words. That's what I struggle with sometimes.

You just gotta keep at it. Even graduates have problems they have to spend days on
