Assistance with Maya Autodesk from modelling to animation

I am working on an advanced school project which involves using Maya Autodesk for the modelling and animation of a phantasy figure consisting of a human body with wings and tail. I have modelled the figure but I need help to do the wings, tail and hair. In addition I will need help to take this figure to a simple level of animation. I would like to be able to interact with the Freelancer via Skype (including screen transfer). I'm required to do most of the actual work myself but I need expert instructions on how to move from one phase to the other.
