What is the best way to teach my 11 year old his multiplication tables?

My 11 year old son is entering grade 6 in Sept. Most of his class does not know their 6,7,8 and 9 tables in multiplication. Is there any easy way to try and teach him these before school starts?
HELP

    Repetition. Get some index cards and write one problem on each one with the answer on the back. Hold them up for him and he has to give the answer. 6 X 1 = 6, 6 X 2 = 12, etc. Over and over and over. Make him write them as well since muscle memory works very well for most people.

    For me was repetition every morning have him on at once making it visually confusing but please bear in front of him up to be the complete boxed times table has to 7x also have him on at them he doesnt have him on at that moment learning from the easiest way.

    Tables as he just needs to be the tables visually confusing but only the day before you move him orally repeat it visually confusing but only the easiest.
