Check with the local university - there are often PhD/Grad music students who are willing to teach lessons, and the range can vary- maybe even work out a barter/trade for services if you have something you can offer them instead of just a straight monetary payment.

I second the Scales/Arpeggios - I've been playng for almost 20 years, and scale books and warmups are what I always try to start with for 10-20 mins, to help keep my fingers limber. Very Very important to pay attention to the fingering, as that is there for a reason, and helps you manuever through tricky playing phases.
