user17503: I have been having questions from time to time about my practise. I do the cushion practise once a day in the morning for half an hour and try to follow the five precepts through the day.
A lot of times through the day I have questions that make me feel like I need to discuss this with someone who is more experienced than I am.
How does one "find a teacher" that can help me customise path & methods for a better practise?
I live in a city called Bombay, in India.
Any help and/or insight appreciated.
PS: I have had the privilege of learning through a 10-day SN Goenka Vipassana Retreat once. :)
-With Love & Chai.

user295: For students who have already done a course one can use the mobile app: Dhamma.org Mobile App.
Also, some centres have organised online group sittings for old students: https://pamoda.dhamma.org/en/os-vipassana/online-group-sits/

user471: Ven. Yuttadhammo, who was formerly a moderator of Buddhism.SE, heads the Sirimangalo International Meditation Centre in Ontario, Canada. He was a student of Ven. Ajaan Tong Sirimangalo.
He teaches vipassana meditation, which is very beneficial.
You can find his meditation e-books online:

How to Meditate
How to Meditate II

The "How to Meditate" e-book is based on meditation lessons taught by Ven. Yuttadhammo, which can be found in this YouTube video playlist.
Sirimangalo International Meditation Centre has an online at-home meditation course:
