Where do you live? Check if there is a Ruby User group nearby, if there is that would be a good a place to start as any.
Also, have you tried to learn by yourself using the internet or a book as guidance? Agile Web Development with Rails is pretty darn good, and is currently priced at less than what an hour long private lesson would be.

Learn Ruby first.
RoR will be very useful to create a website like that, just use the devise gem for the user logins. The databases are easy on rails, just follow a few tutorials and you will get started in no time. I would also recommend to use the screencast Railscast and the books Pragmatic Agile Web Development with Rails and Ruby on Rails 3 Tutorial as they helped me get started.
These two are the most recommend for beginners
The Ruby Programming Language
Agile Web Development with Rails
More advanced topics:
Metaprogramming Ruby
The Rspec Book
Ideas:
If that's not enough, browse the App store. I'm sure you'll find some inspiration.

I'm currently reading through Agile Web Development with Rails 3.2 as start into Rails. I haven't worked on any of the examples yet, just doing a first read through, but it's covering a lot of stuff. I'll probably go though some other online tutorials once I'm done. On a side note, in a web dev course I took last year, one of the TAs said that a lot of people look down on PHP deferring to other options, but eventually end up going back to it.
