As someone whose parents were Bay Area workaholics and was left to teach myself, was yelled at for asking questions and not knowing how to do it, and physically punished if homework wasn't done by the time they came home, 1 on 1 discussion would have been incredibly helpful and probably life changing in more areas than just math (homework instilling fear doesn't translate to dealing well with tasks later in life). I can't imagine how nice it would have been not to have to hide out of fear that I was having problems figuring out calculus on my own.
