I searched the UW math department tutor list for a tutor and selected one (there happened to be a LWer who I had met before on the list). He gives me problems to do and sections to read out of a book and looks over the problems I do, trying to correct misconceptions I have. I ask him lots of questions about doing proofs.

Does that answer your question?
Yeah. What’s the rate like?
$50/hr there was also someone offering free tutoring in particular math topics here on LW.
Interesting. I heard you can get skype tutoring at much smaller rates (typically from India), though not sure what the quality is.
That makes sense, any hints on where?
Don’t have any info beyond this, searching for “Skype tutoring rates” yield this http://www.online-math-tutor.net/skype-math-tutors-costs.htm, for example
