First, you have to vet your trainers. There are many folks posting tutorials that do not really know what they are doing. You can easily end up learning inefficient techniques and developing bad habits. Some of the tutorials are really awful. Vetting your trainer means you have to make sure that they know what they are talking about.

If you want personalized instruction that can be very expensive, unless you are willing to be taught by another amateur that may or may not know what they are doing. Video production is a very complex process and there are standards for compressing and delivering content that must be understood and followed.

If you have a few bucks to spend I would seriously invest in a Lynda.com membership for a couple of months. There are hundreds of really good tutorials on their site and all of the trainers know what they are talking about. You can probably find techniques for doing exactly what you want to do, but it will take more than one tutorial to do really complex stuff.

If you want someplace where you can put in a request for a tutorial on how to insert an animated robot into some video of a birthday party you shot with an iPhone and then make the kids disappear and the cake catch on fire you are not going to find that. You can find tutorials from good trainers that show you how to insert a 3D CGI element into a video. You can also find tutorials on making folks disappear and other tutorials on making things catch on fire or explode.

With all due respect you are approaching learning the wrong way & setting yourself up to fail.   Established instructors like Lynda or Pluralsight or Gnomon have curriculum that is designed to teach you in an effective manner, starting with critical foundations and working up.  Whikle the lessons may not be what you want...once you have the foundational knowledge of AE tools you will be able to create what you want without any tutorials.   It's the difference between knowing a single way to repeat what you learned & having the knowledge to be able envision 15 different ways to achieve whatever you can think of.  

Do you want to be a parrot who can say few words or a Jedi artist that can materialize anything they can imagine?

Education has been around for a long time and for as long it has been the teacher (experienced) teaches the student.

There is very good reason that the students do not get to choose what the teacher teaches.

Unless of course you have a ton of money to pay for a private instructor who will tolerate a student that thinks they know what they need to know.  An instructor like that will very expensive or very desperate & IMO, not a very good teacher.

That was lesson 00a.  No charge.

the list of trainers I showed you would be a place to start. you could then contact someone and ask for specific training for your needs.

other than that, I don't know a service that provides tutorial on demand. maybe if you were more specific on what exactly you are looking for, we could refer you to some training already created for that same purpose.

if you want to learn online, Adobe has a nice tutorial section here:

After Effects tutorials | Learn how to use After Effects CC

for more extensive resource I would recommend subscribing to Lynda.com and take any of the Ae courses. there are many.

After Effects - Online Courses, Classes, Training, Tutorials on Lynda

if you want an one-site classroom based training in your area, you can look for official adobe trainers here:
