Do you have a planisphere? It should have the following galaxies marked on it ...
Local Group: Small Magellanic Cloud near 47 Tuc and the Large Magellanic Cloud with the Tarantula Nebula (NGC 2070).
Then there is the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and the Sculptor Galaxy (NGC 253).
The SMC, LMC and M31 can be seen naked eye under darker skies and even better with binoculars. NGC 253 can be seen with a decent pair of binoculars and better in a telescope (say 6 inch).
You will need more detailed maps to find fainter galaxies.
I find the lower magnifications (say x50) and wider fields more useful for finding and viewing galaxies. You can always up the magnification for detail on those with an apparent smaller size.
