I tutor on the side, and it's often for this very reason.
I am not sure of any particular source that makes this easy, but the majority of technical things written are written by people who don't really have a reason to have especially strong communication skills, especially communication skills for people that might not be familiar with some of the basics.
Since this is HN --- I actually think this is a business opportunity. People would pay plenty for the best educational resources, at varying times in their life, and having good explanations of things is a valuable resource.
- Tycho 10y agoI have actually thought about getting a tutor for this reason. Do you think tutoring is a good solution for this particular goal?
- asafira 10y agoYes, but only if you are putting time into it on your own outside of tutoring. Otherwise, sessions will either seemingly not go very far, or you spend a lot of wasted time in the tutoring sessions (just blank time when you are reading and re-reading things that you could have done on your own). A lot of this kind of learning still happens independently even though a tutor can (and usually does!) accelerate the learning.
