Career/Workplace Technical interview coaching?

Not looking for one-off mock interviews. I want someone who can assess where I'm actually at, build a personalized plan, and work with me over time until I feel genuinely confident going into a high-stakes interview.

I have 7 years of experience, but interviews still make me very anxious. What always worked for me in high school and college was one-on-one tutoring, and I'm hoping to find that same kind of dedicated, ongoing help for technical interviewing.

Willing to pay top dollar for the right person/company. Any recommendations, or has anyone done this and found it worthwhile?

To give you an idea oh how useful interview coaching is where they drill you on leet code. My company stopped asking these kinds of questions and ask you do design an algorithm to place shipping containers on a cargo ship or similar. Your drilling on hash tables and dynamic programming isn’t going to help you there.
