E's mostly fluent in shemona esrei now. So looking back, it took him about 2 months. We are practicing 3x a week for 10 minutes, and if he finishes before time, he can stop early.
The last 2 paragraphs need a bit more fluency, but now we've started the other shemona esreis. Maariv, shacharis, mincha, for shabbos. The same 10 minutes 3x a week. Then on to musaf for Shabbos, musaf for rosh chodesh, musaf for Shabbos Rosh Chodesh, and shemona esrei for yontif. There's plenty to go.
In the meantime, I'd like to learn Torah with him. I think he'd enjoy thinking about ideas. But we'll hold off on that for now, and work on fluency.
The goal is for him to be able to finish shemona esrei with the tzibbur before they start chazaras hashatz.
