That reminds me of a rather large study group I was in. We were reviewing sexual addiction. Mr. Big Noise basketball player came bouncing in (late as usual) and after a few minutes interrupted the entire group with, "Is that like nymphomania?" Silence was deafening. But because he was Big Noise B-Ball, some of the students explained it to him. I still don't think he got it. Doesn't matter though because he went onto the NBA and is making mega-bucks.
Don't they have other TA's or RA's that can help? Or maybe an assistant professor? Or even (gasp) the full professor?

You might look at how your study group is structured. Perhaps if each of the members were responsible for a section(s) of the material. I'm not saying that the others can ignore sections that aren't their assignments, but the primary person would be the 'go to' for questions and explanations. If someone does not carry their weight with their subjects, then they need to be chastised by all the others in the group. Hopefully, they will all rise to the occasion. I do not have fond memories of grad school (Spanish language and lit) and we had some students who were the 'leeches' that drove us all crazy.
Good luck and ride when you can.
