You tube is a great source for tutorials, it is a pity you can't access that as there is nothing like being able to watch someone. Still, there are other options

Could you ask around for a local 'expert' to show you? Maybe make a crafternoon where you get a lesson and you can barter some other skill or maybe just an afternoon tea. I am sure there would be a willing teacher as people who make with yarn tend to be super keen to get others hooked and share the love!

Otherwise, Pip from the blog 'Meet me at Mikes' has an awesome beginners series on crochet.
