Per minute is a terrible pricing strategy. It invokes nervousness just by hearing about it. The founders are probably newbies in business. Your minimum pricing unit should be 30 min or more. Or perhaps it should be a monthly subscription model of various pricing layers (limited by number of sessions per month for example )

Thanks for the feedback! To be fair, there's at least some precedent for per-minute pricing: TutorMe (https://tutorme.com) used to offer on-demand tutoring at the same $1/minute rate (in addition to a subscription option similar to the one you're describing) and appeared to have some success with that model. That being said, I agree that offering multiple options probably makes the most sense.
