I don't mean to be blunt, but I don't think you're going to get what you want out of machine learning if you still need people to give you step-by-step instructions.
It's a bit more complex than simply: give someone step-by-step instructions and they have the skill and/or knowledge. If they're still at the level where you have to explain everything, then that's a fairly low level of skill - and it's not clear that instruction on all subjects is appropriate to that level of skill... just as you wouldn't go up to an aeronautics engineer, ask for a step by step instruction guide on how to build a 747, and then call yourself an aeronautics engineer.
You might, if you had a very good memory, be able to build a 747 (waving aside the logistical difficulties of doing so) but you wouldn't understand why it worked, and you wouldn't know how to build any other aircraft. And if, instead, you asked her for a step-by-step guide on how to learn what she knew in a couple of months... Well, the answer would likely be that she knew a lot more than could be communicated in two months, and that you needed a higher level of understanding of physics and so on to ask a more refined question to which she would be able to give some sort of meaningful answer.
How is someone with this little motivation going to learn something so complex? I want to allocate my time helping people who at least try first.
