Did you ever get a chance to use the language yourself? The things you 
did sound good, but it's easy to forget a lot of what you learn if you 
don't maintain it. It is a lot like gardening. ;)

Memrise is probably too boring, unless you love flashcards. If you don't 
love them, working with real Lojban prose is probably more effective.

You do sound determined, which is a very good precondition.

I think I would generally be willing to help you, but allow me to think 
about it for a day, first.

I do have some experience teaching Lojban, and I have gotten some good 
feedback. Of course it also depends on whether or not you would be 
willing to try it with me.

If payments are necessary, Paypal sounds reasonable.
