Help with Views

Hi,

I'm looking for someone (a good trainer) to hold my hand and show me the right way to implement Views.
My goal is to use the taxonomy for my menuing (which I done), and my terms listed to link to the new view.
I'm stumbling with placeholders and how to display the view to the right url's using variables.
Drupal 6 and Ubercart. I'm located in Boise and can come to you, host you at my place or talk over the phone.

Thanks so much,

Katie

PS I'm willing to pay and of course I need this yesterday. :)
