Why not just learn from self-study online.
1 -> You decide you want to be able to do something in particular
2 -> You find out the stages involved
3 -> You read-up (tutorials, blog posts, books, manuals) to equip yourself with the skills to complete each stage.
4 -> You have a go ... and refine yr methods as you learn more.Most importantly, constantly ask yourself 'WHY' - I've found I don't understand something completely until I know the reasons / story behind the process.

I think the most important characteristic for successful learning might be an innate curiosity and desire to figure stuff out independently - it's definitely possible to get ahead without tuition.
