Tell him the ж is very similar to the s in the words "leisure" and "pleasure". But he'll really learn to pronounce it by paying attention to how you and other Russian speakers pronounce it.

Hi Sergey, I think that there is no exact sound that is like a Russian "Ж" sound - the closest sound would be like a J in jazz but softer.
