John,
One solution is, if there is an Apple Store acceptably close by, is to pay $100 and sign up for a year of ProCare w/ Apple (www.apple.com/retail/procare/). You can sign up for 1 hour sessions w/ one of the FCP specialists at the store for one-on-one tutoring and questions. One limitation is you have to go to the store.
Good luck,
Bill
