I personally don't know anyone who can teach the rules better than a decently written rule book.
I can help with that. Try High Frontier, Myth, Banner Saga Warbands, and maybe Bios Genesis. Note that I like 3 of these very much, but the manuals are tough to learn from. For extra credit, try High Frontier 2nd edition rather than the better written (but still tough) 3rd edition.
I expect after that you'll appreciate YouTube videos and a good teacher a bit more. I know I did.:p
Seriously, yes a well written rulebook is great, but I seldom see them.
