I can't speak about the site or the quality of the instructors but i have nothing but appreciation for Charles Max Wood, the instructor for the Ruby and Rails course. I think he also conducts the ruby programming language course. Check out his free online videos on rails at www.teachmetocode.com. They are free and will probably give you a good idea about the pace at which he conducts his online classes.

Charles teaches Rails; Peter Cooper teaches the Ruby language.

I'm a founder of CodeLesson and also an instructor. Happy to answer questions here or privately at my username at gmail.

How can I become an instructor?

Most of our instructors are domain experts in the languages or platforms that they teach. Nearly all have extensive experience teaching or writing (most are book authors).

A few of our courses have been suggested by users (there's a form for that here: http://codelesson.com/courses/suggest). We also sometimes list courses that don't have instructors yet; those course pages contain an "Instructors Need" link you can use to let us know you'd like to teach.

To teach on the site, it helps us if you have a complete CodeLesson profile, including LinkedIn and Twitter links if you have them.
