First off I haven't seen the syllabus but I am guessing you have
the content I would be looking for. I am also happy to pay for
access to the content and support tutoring. I am mailing back
publicly in the hope others maybe as well and it would be worth
your while financially to put something together.
Ideal scenario for me would look something like this:
- Lay out 6 month schedule with fixed learnings and exercises
(personally I need to start at very basics but am committed and
have track record so not the lazy UW student)
- An hour every other week check-in using Skype (although I am in
Seattle so Zoka or something might make more sense) to review
exercises and go over things having challenges with
- Some sort of full day training in batches say 2 x 2 days at the
end of each 3 month period
Like I said I am more than happy to pay for good tuition and good
support.

The University of Washington was running a course but looks like

we were... it didn't stop in favor of objc, it stopped because we
were putting way too much time into the course for what we were
getting paid. UW really was expecting us to do 4-6 hours a week
grading when in reality it was more like 20. I think that made it
a better class, but with many of the students having similar
expectations as UW (meaning, they were poor students and expecting
to be able to get away with shoddy work), the burnout level was
quite high on the instructor side.I still have all the materials and would be happy to share them in
some way... but I'm not willing to put 20 hours a week into
grading. (esp for free
