I believe the answer is:

reptilian

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'like a snake' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'i learn tip about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'i'+'learn'+'tip'='ilearntip'
'ilearntip' anagrammed gives 'REPTILIAN'.

'being' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reptilian that I've seen before include "Like a 27 [MONITOR]" , "Like a crocodile" , "Snake-like" , "Mean" , "Nasty" .)
