Guide me on a ESP32 project

I wish to learn how to wire up and configure an ESP32 chip. The approach I envisage is to implement an IoT project using that chip. I would like an experienced ESP32 developer to guide me along the way. I have started playing with the JZK ESP-32S development board (ASIN B071JR9WS9 on Amazon) but will consider alternative ones as recommended. Sessions to be conducted in English (alternatively in French), either face-to-face or via Skype. Preferably evenings or weekends UK time. If interested, please recommend number and duration of sessions, your price per session, and a draft breakdown of planned activities per session. I have some theoretical knowledge of electronics and I've done some soldering in the past. I am an experienced programmer, albeit not applied to embedded IT. All materials provided.
