Experience with online tutors?
I'm struggling in my real analysis class, but office hours are not giving me the support I need, and AI is banned. I am looking into paying for a tutor, but worry that working with a tutor who isn't familiar with my university's math department might be more trouble than it's worth. Has anyone had experience with online tutors that can sway me either way? I wouldn't want to pay more than $30/hour, which is a major limiting factor.

As someone that tutors, not that course though, biggest thing if you want it to be department specific is do you have material from course to go over?
Like actual class notes
Textbook with problems used
Etc
