Close your stance.
Try to bring your backswing inside. I do this by trying to visualize putting my right elbow into my right hip at take away.
Concentrate on rolling your wrists over at impact.

the more you open your stance to compensate the slice, the more you cut across the ball and slice.

this excercise will help you get into "the slot" on the way down, which will help with your slice.
Simply address the ball then move your right foot(if right handed) back so that your right toe is on the same line as your left heel. try hitting the ball in the stance. Having to swing around a right foot that far exaggerated backwards should help with the slice. Also on the downswing try to keep your right elbow as close to your body as possible

I have the same exact problem.
When I first started playing golf I had a problem where I was hooking the ball. I corrected it for a while but now I have gone the opposite direction and slice all my drives.

This works for me. Though I cannot hit drivers well anyways. Hit a 3W off the tee. Oversized club heads give me trouble. However weird that sounds.

Keep your head down the entire time. Slicing happens when you lift your head up and therefore lean back slightly in your stance. Your club face opens up, and you slice.

They are all things that will help him make an inside out swing.

Aim left and play that slice like Tiger does. Works for him

wooly, what i said is coming from a guy who played college golf and a few years on the mini tours,, try out what i said and let me know how it goes.

It's hard to say anything without a video, but when you say you are slicing it, how is the ballflight? Is it starting straight and slicing, left and slicing, or right and slicing?
The thought of an inside out swing is incorrect. Those tips you have will cause duck hooks or even bigger cuts

starts out straight then lifts up and veers right after about 30 feet of going straight
