Yes, Asaf, thanks for asking! I was lucky enough to receive a recommendation from one WP:PT admin, for a very experienced editor. He's not a student, though, but it took me a while to find out that this wasn't mandatory. The best thing is that he knows quite well the workings of the WP:PT community, which can be very difficult sometimes. I could teach the editing basics, but this makes the whole difference - I don't think I'd be really successful without his aid.

I wish this list was used more often! I'd love to hear how things are going in India and in the new courses in Canada. If anyone wants to follow what's going on with my course, I've been blogging my project, which can be decently read in English through Google translator: http://wikipedianauniversidade.blogspot.com.
