Go and find a dojo where you can take regular classes. In my opinion private lessons are not the best.
There are two AAA dojos in west virginia that I'd recommend.
1. Aikido of Morgantown
2. West Virginia Aikido
You can find the address and website at
http://www.aaa-aikido.com/national.htm#westvirginia
or in the dojo search engine of Aikiweb.
Good Luck
