This website has some good examples of throwing mechanics. I know your looking for one on one instruction, but you might want to check it out anyway.

Well that sounds like a start, though I'm enough of a beginner that I have no idea what a sponsored pro is.
Any ideas how to find one?
Go to your local or near courses and find out when leauge is and start playing leauges and asking for advise and try to work it into your game.

It also might help if you throw less-stable discs(Leopard, Avenger SS, Stratus)

That is a Hyzer and it is not a bad behavior it is the natural flight for most drivers when thrown right handed back hand ( especially with a slow arm speed and minimal snap). The thing you have to learn is how to keep the disc going forward to get the most distance out of it.

Stand upright .Don`t bend over.Turn at your waist,reaching back(winding the spring)bring the throwing arm forward with a level shoulder to shoulder swing.Release the disc with the outside edge raised up slightly to achieve a straight throw.So far so good .Here`s where I go away from standard instruction.When bringing your arm forward,try not to bend it!DO NOT TRY TO KILL IT a throw with control, level,is the best first step.Using understable discs is easier ,but learning to throw a more stable disc is more beneficial long term.I actually suggest a good midrange like the wasp , buzz,or storm as the disc to learn first.Just remember keep it smooth and straight.Once you get that you are well on your way!
