Eric,
You're in luck! There are many here who have achieved their Calling and Election Made Sure. There is plenty written on this forum, in other sections, on what it means, what should be expected, and how to proceed in obtaining it. There is plenty of scriptural references to show the discussion is on the right track.
As for whether one person can teach another to achieve, their Calling and Election, re-read Revelation chapters 6 and 7. There I see horrible calamities which are nearly upon us, or all around us, depending on your point of view, and an answer as to who can endure such trials without losing their testimony, as did 5 of the 10 virgins in the parable. The answer is to receive the Seal of God in our foreheads, which is a sign of having one's C&E. What's more, 144,000 who achieve this in the last days go forth and teach it to others. I recently came to understand this means only half the LDS Church will understand and accept it, while many others will embrace it as well. If it is your desire to achieve your C&E, I recommend you read chapter 7 closely, pray about it, and decide whether you want to talk to one of the 144,000. They are here, today. Perhaps even all of them have been called.
