I never use flow-charting and rarely use pseudo code anymore. I typically use TDD and refactoring. By which I mean to say: There are a number of ways to go about learning.

Another way to get something close to one-on-one attention is to join and attend developer groups that have meetings and get togethers on a regular basis. There are groups like this in every major city - and in some cities there are dozens of groups. You will meet people at all levels, and there is almost always someone who will help out.
