your post doesn't say what is expected from a teacher, esp. about the online availability/time he has to be chattable. if it's just about writing tuts/exercises, well, but you say it's "chat, forum, exercises, quizzes, the whole ball of wax, and a live teacher to ask questions to" which makes me unsure.

plus, few of us have worked with DeleD i guess, and everyone uses his favourite modelling application (wings3d, blender on the free, maya, max, lw, ts and c4d on the cost intensive site, whichever the modeller likes [don't even think i know all of these]). so i am already kicked by your choice of modelling programme, which will be similar for many viewers of your post.
