not having any family or friends who can teach me, can anyone point me in
the right direction to get tuition as an absolute beginner.

if it helps I am in West Yorkshire

TIA
The Environment Agency in West Yorkshire do organise some activity days as
part of their Angling Participation Project ........ so it may be worth
contacting them to see what they have planned for the future.
