I hope he got one of these for this birthday as well. Awesome cheap gift for a chemistry enthusiast.
Jesus, these people are fucking demoralizing.
If you're a chemistry major, then you are probably smart, you probably like the subject, and did pretty well in Gen Chem. The biggest problem with OChem is that there are so many different mechanism. Dozens of different types of reactions, with different catalysts, producing different products, with a variety of structural characteristics. You'll need to learn all the different structures of the reactants, products, intermediates, and track every single atom as it transitions through every step. It seems impossible to remember it all, which is why people hate it.
But you don't need to learn everything all at once. OChem, if nothing else, is the one class that teaches students how to properly study (and that it's impossible to learn all the material the night before the test).
Here is my advice:
Go to every single class. Take notes by hand (putting away the phone). Review said notes from the previous day for 30 minutes before bed. Do all the homework. Review said notes from the previous week for a couple hours each the weekend.
If you do those things, you will have learned the material five separate times before you even study for the exam for real. Once by hearing the prof, once by writing it down in your notebook, once by reviewing your notes later that night, once in the homework, and once in a weekly review. And if any of the material does not make sense after your weekend review session, go to the professor's office hours and ask.
If you do those things, in OChem and PChem, I guarantee you will do well in the class.

P.S. A molecular modelling kit can also be a very useful tool for visualizing organic structures and understanding the reactions.
Get the molymod one. Easy to use, robust. I got mine second hand 15 years ago and it is still going strong. Haven't checked for best price, but here is an Amazon link to get you started.
