Please, I need to know tutorials for beginners

I'm first semester students of 3D animation and I'm falling behind in progress in modeling in Maya, doesn't help that the teacher I got is horrendous at his only job so please if anyone knows resources, videos, anything that could help a newbie with Maya as a whole would be nice

I want to be decent at modeling I really do, but it's still confusing and I hope someone who knows how to manouver the program can help me out on this one :'(
