Are you prepared to pay?

In which case I'd recommend the KTL (one of the KGS rooms) and the GTL (free game submission for reviews) :)

The most readily available 1 on 1 session is a game if you can get a reasonable review from your opponent. The ASR (see the forum here on L19) on KGS is strong on reviews.
