I believe the answer is:

remedying

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'providing corrective action' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'respect of me fizzling out' is the wordplay.
'respect of' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'fizzling out' becomes 'dying' (I've seen this in another clue).
're'+'me'+'dying'='REMEDYING'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for remedying that I've seen before include "sorting out" , "Putting right (an undesirable situation)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
