I don't want to mislead you, but you can sit all day in front of a tutor and end up with close to nothing until you start playing with python *yourself*. There are ~$30 worth books out there that can teach you virtually everything you'd need, and can be available 24/7 for assistance!  You've named yourself 'pythoner'; which sufficiently reflects the ardency -- you should get on it yourself! There's plenty of information out there, and there are consolidated texts available for nominal price, if not free. Next week is still few days away -- plenty of time for you dive into it... next thing you notice you're a REAL pythoner. ;-)
 
FWIW, here's some that you can count on:
