Look up a tutor on your local craigslist or use Google. Asking for a local tutor here is a major shot in the dark.

By "knowing someone" i mean someone on the forum who maybe teaches online or is willing to. i want to mainly make applications for Mac

You might want to take a look at the Big Nerd Ranch. The guy that runs it is the author of the book that most people consider the "bible" of Cocoa programming.

Perl can be quite complex to learn.
Though if you want a jump start on building games using Cocoa, look in the links in my signature...

But he assumes you know Obj-C, C or C++ first so its not good for beginners.

BNR has some awesome books coming out. But from what Ive read personally theyre not really suited for beginners to programming either.

There's a 7-day course that covers C, Obj-C, and Cocoa ("Beginning Cocoa Bootcamp," and also "Beginning iPhone Bootcamp"). I would still recommend learning the basics on your own, but the OP specifically wanted tutoring--which you can't get from a book.

When you're taking your first steps you should learn at your own pace. A tutor can't provide that (Not for an amount that wont break your wallet anyway.)
