Just FYI too, this book series (this is level 2 but find level 1 first) is basically what your teacher would probably use. It's awesome and you could probably follow along by yourself, but having a teacher is awesome. Try find a smaller music shop and ask about lessons, mine are only $30 each (once a week). Not too bad but even if you could afford one or two a month, you'd progress better than you'd expect.
Just my two cents, sounds like you are practicing wrong. Grab Alfred's Piano Method, go lesson by lesson and go silly slow. You'll be reading pretty fluent in under a year I guarantee it.
EDIT: Meant to link Level 1
For beginner stuff, if you really aren't caring about authenticity or any of that you could use: http://www.free-scores.com/ It is a community site, so most of the stuff on there is arranged by users of the site. You can filter by difficulty and instrumentation and there's a lot of beginner reductions of stuff. Not all of it is great or even good, but it's free to sift through and just look for stuff to practice reading music on.
There are also out there a lot of method books that have sheet music that is gradually more difficult. A common one that is suggested around here is Alfred's Adult All-In-On Piano.
Okay the obvious question is: Does he have access to a piano?
If the answer is yes, then this is good for beginners to self teach a bit: https://www.amazon.com/Adult-All-one-Course-Alfreds/dp/0882849956
alfred's all-in-one method (amazon link here) is solid. i complained about the music being too silly in another thread, and that does irritate me, but it is a solid method.
coming from guitar, piano can be intimidating. but everything about music can be learned from piano, so every musician should play it.
