I’d like to probably incorrectly argue that going off to find some passionate person on YouTube to re-lecture you can be of more benefit (or at least less stress but less effective) than doing practice questions and shit.
I know this doesn’t stand up to scrutiny but fuck I hate homework.
No you’re right, most people find it much easier to engage with a teacher who is genuinely enthusiastic about what they’re teaching
Another factor is that one on one learning is beneficial for people who are prone to distraction even without the interaction benefits everyone gets from typical one on one learning (with two people in the same room)
I can personally vouch that its medically impossible for me to remain focused for an entire lecture which is just a teacher talking
While online self learning has non of those benefits. I can control speed to get information before i get distracted. Can go back as much as i need to and often uses much more visual stimulation.
My teachers concluded i was just not motivated/interested in learning physics. Which is why i spend post education free time on learning physics for fun.

The few teachers I actually remember were all enthusiastic about their subjects.
