Exactly senpai, I have absolutely no prior training in Earth release.
I have the most training in lightning release and a tiny bit of training in both fire and water

Okay, okay. So I want you to begin by explaining to me what Earth is, both in the real world and the ninja world. Then I want you to explain earth to me in as much of a philosophical way as possible.

Ok, I hope I don't ramble too much here...
In the Narutoverse - Earth is one of the five elements. Through the use of Earth Release, the user is able to use the earth surrounding him/her (from now on I will just say his) to his advantage. Pre-existing Earth is not always a requirement for Earth Release as a couple of jutsus actually create Earth. Earth Release is strong against water release but weak to lightning release. Earth release is a component of the kekei genkais Wood Release and Lava Release and the genkai tota dust release.
Due to being asked this by other sensei and senpais in training of other elements, I will list some Earth release users and justsus right off the bat - Earth release is common among shinobi of Iwagakure and some specific users are Onoki, Mu, Kakashi, Jiraya, Yamato, Hashirama, and Hiruzen. Some examples of jutsus are Earth Style: Hiding Like a Mole, Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld, and Rock Golem(when Akatsuchi was able to spit it out of his mouth.
In The Real World - Earth is name given to the plannet which we live on. The same word, earth (with a lowercase e), describes the substances on the ground and under ground. Earth (lowercase e) can be rock, stone, mud, dirt, mud, etc. The latin word for ground (and sometimes earth) is terra.
Philisophically - I don't really understand philosophy that well but I can try. Earth, despite being an inorganic substance, has long been viewed as a living being for a long time. The ancient Greeks believed in an immortal being called Gaia who embodied earth (the mother of many - Uranus, the Titans, the cyclopses, the Furies, the Hecatonchires [hundred-handed-ones], etc.). Similiarly, people today believe in Mother Nature. This theme throughout history demonstrates that earth has the ability to give birth to life and has the characteristics of living (it constantly changes)

Very well thought out, interesting.
Opens the ground beneath you, enough for you to fall though*
I want you to stay in there. While you are in there, I want you to think of all the properties that Earth has. I want you to begin to make your chakra very powerful, not necessarily hard, but strong. I want you to begin to feel one with the earth.

*I land on the ground and sit down*
Ok, I think I know what to do.
*I begin to meditate and think about the earth surrounding me*
(Thinking) Now I gotta start molding chakra.
*I continue to focus on the earth as I begin to mold chakra*
(Thinking) The earth around me is made up of small particles held together (a rock or just dirt). When the particles are held together, they become very strong, very sturdy, very...
*I continue to meditate on the strength of the earth while molding chakra.*
Several hours pass as I sit there meditating on the earth
*As I sit there, I am eventually able to make my chakra stronger*
(Thinking) I am just one more particle inside the earth...
*I focus on my strong chakra as I continue to mold it and make more.*
(Thinking) I am one with the Earth.
I am able to feell the small movements within the earth.

@Bold -Alright, just a little tip here...do not say what happens in the real world while you are training, that is for the trainer to decide upon, that's like leading your training without your sensei/senpai having a say in anything that goes on. Just try to explain what you attempt to do.
*You begin to create doton chakra*
Good, now...
*Opens the ground back up and creates a pillar beneath you to rise back out. Now, I want you to use that newly formed chakra and focus it into your hands. I want you to slam your hands onto the ground in front of you and release the chakra into it. Then, by utilizing the chakra, I want you to shape the chakra into the shape of a kunai, in turn shaping the earth into a kunai which forms beneath your hands. Give it a try.*

Sorry Senpai . It won't happen again.
*I begin to mold doton chakra. I channel it into my hands. I slam my hands onto the ground and have (at least try to have) the chakra from my hands move into the Earth.*
(Thinking) Shape of a kunai.
*Using the doton chakra that I had channeled into my hands, I try to shape the earth under my hands into the shape of a kunai.*
How did I do senpai?

Now let's move on to the next one. I want you to begin to form a quite larger amount of earth chakra into your body. Then, I want you to focus it into your hands. Using the chakra, I want you to begin to dig into the earth, the chakra making it as easy as air to dig through. Then, I want you to dig a tunnel through the ground, beneath my clone, pulling him in and killing him.

*I mold doton chakra.*
(Thinking) I need to mold more chakra than before.
*I mold more doton chakra and channel it into my hands.*
Ok. Here goes.
*I attempt to dig into the ground and make a tunnel. The tunnel goes under the clone. The clone falls into the hole and dies (assuming my attempt is completely sucessful.*

I appoligize, I assumed that it was a clone (a projection) and it would therefore would have died upon impact. I should not have made an assumption, it won't happen again.
*I stab the clone as it falls into the tunnel with a kunai knife.*

*Throws a chunk of rock towards you, its size being a little large than your head*
I want you you to now break that chunk of earth apart and then reform it into a staff. To do this it'll require the use of shape manipulation, making you focus more. As you do this, I want you to make the staff, as it is being formed, denser by compressing the chakra within it. Go give it a try.

*I catch the rock and then start to mold doton chakra. I channel the chakra through my hands into the rock.*
(Thinking) In the shape of a staff.
*I focus on the shape and I channel the chakra into the rock in such a way that the rock will be compressed and elongated (the staff needs to be long). I also focus on the small details of the staff. I hold out the results.*'

*Creates a clone, and makes two sections of rock rise from the ground in front of my clone(about 5 meters away)*
I want you to begin this technique by making the Rat handseal while you release earth chakra into the ground. Then, by focusing the chakra into the two slabs of earth, I want you to begin to control them. I want you to move them to the left and right of my clone, and then slam them both together, destroying my clone. Focus hard on the movement of the earth and make it happen relatively fast so my clone cannot escape it easily.

*I mold doton chakra. I channel this chakra into the two sections of rock that you had created. I focus on the slabs and through the use of the doton chakra, I try to move one section to the left of the clone and the other section to the right of the clone quickly but carefully. As soon as the slabs are in place, I have them slam together at the location of the clone and have the impact kill the clone.*
