It all comes down to what you think your ability is. Do you think you NEED a teacher or do you think you can teach yourself on your own? When I first started writing songs, I'd start with a simple set of chord progressions. I'd chose a series or chords that I like the sound of when played in a certain sequence/ pattern. I'd add my lyrics to these patterns, and then eventually stray from the direct chords and mix up the notes a little.
If you can teach yourself chords in my opinion you'll pretty much be set.
