I'm enrolled in a small online program called thinkful and what they do is interview you and create a custom curriculum based on your preexisting knowledge. A few people that are looking for structure and those willing to mentor might want to simply give that format a shot. In short, basically the mentor would find resources on the web to match exactly what the student is looking to learn. Then if the student has any questions they can just email them. If it seems like more is required then gradually work it out. It might seem alienating on the part of the student but I've found in my own learning situation I'm really just looking for order in and of itself more than a mentor. Having people to bounce questions off of is very important, but if you have a path to follow they become secondary to your personal drive regardless.
