contract help tutor database mysqul form api

I'm new to the Drupal World and have been trying to create a rich database directory website for a nonprofit I'm planning to start and have spent an enormous amount of time trying to learn the Form API programming language to make a fairly basic directory input form that is attached to the MYSQL database. I've come to the point where I need to ask for help and would like to know if anyone is interested in tutoring me through the basic setup of this part of my site. Of course I would pay you for your time. I live in the Randburg area.
