Most of the major distros have on-line forums, although the quality
varies. There is some overlap -- so for instance the Ubuntu forum can
be useful for Mint users, and vice versa. There is also the Usenet
newsgroup system, if you have the patience to wade through the flames
and the spam.
I offer hands-on introductory Linux training and consultancy on a
commercial basis, but so far clients have failed to appear. If there is
a market out there I have missed it somehow.

Although I feel your pain, the Sydney / Australian Linux community
doesn't actually have a responsibility to offer unlimited free support
to people learning Linux, whether seniors or not. I wonder, though, if
there is a place for an on-line forum of sorts where new people can ask
questions and get answers from a knowledgeable pool of experts, who have
agreed to give of their own time to answer those questions in some kind
of roster arrangement.
I'd certainly be happy to contribute to that in some way or form.
