Very good and free. You can repeat the videos over and over until you get it. Look at the math and science sections.
Also, try public libraries for books. Even "How to Wire Your Home" books are helpful
https://alison.com/learn/electrical-engineering - free courses. Don't know much about them but free is a very good price.
Some more free downloads - US tax dollars paid for these:

They're on http://energy.gov/ and Google will find them.
They're a good standard set of texts and free to download.

This is good for hands on: http://www.amazon.com/Electricity-Experiments-You-Can-Home/dp/0071621644 - see if your library can get a copy for you. You get to build your own labs for cheap and do experiments. I would replace his transformer with one which is 24 volts center tapped also called 12-0-12. You will get different results from his but that's OK.
Here's one example
Or you could use one of these plus one of these which is close to his original unit. The reason for two voltages is so you get experience at what happens when you change voltages.
All of this is way cheaper even than the $900 - $1500 that an online course costs or the $10,000 you pay for a private school.
