Kasparov talking about his relationship with Carlsen:
Do you regret that you spent a year coaching him?
Not at all. Out training games, and joint analysis with such a talented player, all gave me enormous pleasure. He has the ability to correctly evaluate any position, which only Karpov could boast of before him. I helped Magnus in areas where he’s lacking: opening preparation, a more systematic approach to work and sharper play.

I guess "more systematic approach to work" is actually his most useful help.
Next comes the opening. I'd be curious to know what the "more systematic approach" advice consists of.
