drawing is not about learning to use a pencil, it is about learning to use your eyes.
and only practise will make you better. like exercise you have to warm up your hand. do a series of two minute sketches, four or five, and then you are ready to draw.
the size of the dry medium controls the size of the paper, messy charcoal needs a lot of room, soft pencil is less accurate than a hard fine graphite.
what do you want to learn to draw? if it is perspective you will have to get a few objects, and practise shading, if it is the body, then start by drawing bits of your own, is free and you can do it in private until you get enough confidence to do it with somebody watching you. And you need to let that happen, because books can not give you feedback.

Check out a book called Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain by Betty Edwards, it is filled with exercises that will help you learn to draw.

scott b is right. No teaching system beats the Betty Edwards book. I read it years ago and practiced it in a limited way. When I entered college and did lots of "realistic" drawing for fine art classes, I constantly used this book's methods.
