It depends on where you are of course, and what you can pay.
We had great success hiring a young woman who played for a local small college to give private lesson to our daughter from age 11 to 13. We did the lessons with a friend of similar ability and that was a big advantage. The coach could move between the two and they could work on different things to keep the whole practice moving. Example: Crossing and finishing. One kid dribbles down the line and crosses to other moving down the center - who then finishes on first touch if possible. Then switch, then go to other foot. Coach keeps moving between the two.
The college player was happy to do the practices because we paid well - though less than a club coach would charge. And, we worked around her schedule. It built technique and, in turn, confidence. Both my kid and her friend ended up playing in college.
