Sara,

Alan didn't say to find a tutor, he suggested you read a tutorial.

You seem to be having problems with very basic python concepts and his 
suggestion was to take an hour or two and *read* some gentle 
introductions that will lead you through concepts like tuples and 
lists.  Without those basic understandings you're going to continue to 
struggle with simple tasks.

We're here to help, but the approach you're taking isn't getting you 
where you need to go quickly.

Here are a couple of starting points:
http://docs.python.org/tut/
http://www.sthurlow.com/python/
http://www.diveintopython.org/toc/index.html
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Non-Programmer's_Tutorial_for_Python/Contents

Glance through those and pick one that looks like you're style and 
speed.  Skim though the sections you already understand and pay more 
attention to the bits you don't.

A little time spent up front is going to save you immense time later.  
Let us know how it goes.

Sincerely,
e.
