I never did formally, but I learned the game from my older brothers, the eldest the most so. (I came from a big family with six kids, me being number three.) My older brother, he taught me a lot of things, including getting started in poker. Ever since he got back from the war he hasn't been the same and we don't play cards any more, but I still remember valuable lessons from the many times we used play cards.

Anyone have a teacher or mentor of poker? What did you learn?

Not any that I know personally. I've learned a lot from players on Twitch. Lex, Spraggy, Fintan, Conorrrrrrr, the streamers at Globaluke unsub, killerbird and Hoss. A few other legends
 
I had one player try to mentor/coach me. It didn't work out because he tried to make me play strictly heads up sit and go's.
 
I was so fortunate to have a very close friend who was actually an experienced poker player. He actually taught me the fundamentals and he often provided some valuable feedback on my games always.
