I'd say try first to get some of the already mentioned courses by either Chris or Chad, I can imagine they have discussions enabled for customers where you can interact with them as tutors, but I haven't tried them. Or maybe reach them through their websites in case they are open to 1 to 1 sessions? I can imagine highly experienced people like these don't base their 'busisness' on 1 on 1 sessions, as they can produce widely available content for everyone with much more benefit in the same time frame they teach you, but if I were you I'd definitely try to reach to them.
I don't consider myself expert enough to teach you, but even if I was I would first expect you to use the already available resources, as they are pretty good i.e. autodesk's documentation, autodesk's examples, online tutorials, discussions etc. And if while working on these you get questions you can ask here, or google it. P.D.: I'd expect a self proclaimed expert rigger to know how Maya plugins work.
