A few forum members do this--Ricardo, Todd, Grisha. Ricardo gives you a half hour free the first lesson (or something like that). You should be able to PM any of them...

You may want to try Beau Bledsoe. He gives online lessons through Skype. His web site is:

http://www.beaubledsoe.com

I have taken some lessons with him, I wanted some help with my right hand, and he is good and easy to deal with. The feedback you will get with online lessons will be far more helpful than trying to learn with the flamenco DVD's. Beau has studied with some great players, and he knows how to bring things to your level. Another thing is he is pretty cheap when compared to some of the other folks who give online lessons, and as I said, he's quite flexible. You don't have to pre pay for any lessons. Just pay him 24 hours before a lesson, and that's it. He charges $ 20 for a 30 minute lesson, and I think $35 for an hour lesson, though I'm not sure. If you talk with or write him, tell him I sent you.

Best,
Shawn

I take online skype lessos with Ricardo and am very happy with the experience. Really, the only short coming is the inability to play together due to the latency of the network. That being said - I don't drive in traffic after a long day of work, but instead take a lesson in the comfort of you own home and with a fantastic player/instructor.
