My son is starting gemara soon, and with his dad out of the picture, I will need to hire someone to farher him (out of my budget) or rely on favors from reluctant male family members.
Unless...
Are there gemaras with yiddish translation so I csn follow along and "farher" him the way I do chumash?

I don't know about Yiddish, but if your English is decent, the Artscroll Schottenstein gemaras are very good. In particular, if you've never learned gemara, they may be more helpful than a simple translation since they also go into explanation. (Chumash is generally written in full sentences, or at least poetic sentence fragments; gemara is written in a much more shorthand style.)
Kol hakavod on the initiative!

I would speak to his Rebbe on what is the best way to help him.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into it, but my concern is how to mentally translate the English to his yiddissh without annoying him.
Artscroll doesn't have a yiddish line yet?

I did. He suggested finding a yungerman.
I don't trust strangers, and family is going to be problematic.
It wouldn't occur to his rebbe that a woman can or should do this.

I had similar dilemma with my son.
Some ideas that worked for me:
Hiring a yungerman who came to MY home, where I could supervise from the corner of my eye, or even have them sit in the kitchen while I prepared dinner or folded laundry. I learned a lot!
At times when I couldn't hire someone, I'd ask my son to guide me, ''What question should I ask you about this line? And what question might your rebbe ask about this line?''
Helpful?
