It's Bloom's 2-sigma problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom%27s_2_sigma_problem

> "Bloom concluded that one-to-one tutoring is "too costly for most societies to bear on a large scale", Bloom conjectured that a combination of two or three altered variables may result in a similar performance improvement."; that was in 1984.

My suggestion for this is join a small but active Discord/Slack/IRC group, ask many questions and strive to answer any you can. I wonder if that has been studied, it's not structured, directed, one-to-one tutoring but many moments of one-to-one and many-to-one explaining and helping do happen within it.



Thanks, that's the one I was thinking of.

Your suggestion was part of the process through which I taught myself computer programming. I think it has merit.
