I have friends who went to Big Nerd Ranch who were book learners, but the teaching staff, presentation methods, and setup made it very worthwhile to them. I would imagine something like this would fit for a lot people.
You see this in the gym: there are two groups of people that see trainers. The first are highly motivated people who go occasionally because they want a technique touch up or training tips or to discuss their routine with someone more knowledgeable. The second are people who go three times a week because they need motivation and affirmation. These classes are the same.
