is that a well known problem in the team/company? the first thing I would do is to make sure the person knows its issues(gently!) and encourage him/her to improve. don't be rough, cuz you never know their particular situations(problems at home, real gaps in their learning) . start from there.
and don't feel bad, in fact for what I've experienced, you know to treat that type of situations soon, because later it will bite you in the ass(happened me). just don't be a jerk in the first approach, and all gucci -
you could try to pair with him for a while maybe you can see whats the problem and help him out to get faster. but first you should tell him like @JhonDoe said. I had the same problem with one in my team... in the end I moved him to the more maintaining jobs (other team) instead of the building ones because he was a mender not a maker. There he is fine because his steady slow pace matches maintaining better
Hope I'm not late to the party

I feel bad for ranting about this.
So I just came out of a projects where a teammate was really slow. It's not that they weren't trying, like I was sitting across from them and can see them working. But seriously fing donkey balls, SO SLOW and subpar, it wasn't slow and steady to win the race, it was slow and steady to just barely pass.
Like we had two weeks for this project, we've had all of the planning done, now on the last 4 days it was just finishing up the implementation. And everything to come out of this person would take ages, slow everyone else done, and would need to be redone by someone else.
I really do feel bad for hating, cuz this person is doing there best and it's just not good enough. They listen, pay attention, but it's like they can't improve.
It just sucks... Because their ambition and effort is not being paid off and is pulling us down...
