I did not go to school or anything like that but studied pretty much anything on TIG welding I could find online while using it for my job of maintaining an industrial kitchen where lots of stuff gets broken. I then advanced through basic and got into more advanced on the welding technology and started reading about metals and metallurgy, passivation technology and also studying Stick welding and pretty much ended up being the welder on site for 15 buildings but I read A LOT and practiced A LOT.
I still learn every day but if you want to learn, I recommend reading PDF's from online which in essence is the same as a book. I don't think a tutor is necessary but it definetley helps, I have an apprentice now who is learning but I am having him study the same as me and just direct and advise on his procedures and final welds which seems to be good.
Read and practice, make sure you grasp a new piece of information and can use it before you move onto the next or it all tends to blend and be confusing.
And you got Miller's forum for any questions, I did not have that for the first year but definetley been good every since.
Best of luck,if there's a welder, there's a way

One thing critical to good TIG welds is Tungsten Electrode selection.... prep & care
here is a useful guidebook
