Private tutoring for 1 hour, 3 times a week at the current rates offered by local freelancers where I live would be ballpark 1000 USD per month for a long time. If you start nitpicking about quality and put in some more serious hours I wouldn't be surprised if you hit two grand.
Language should not be reserved for people that can throw that kind of money monthly at their random hobbies, and suggesting that this is "the solution" is grotesque at best.
I don't know what kind of hours and dedication that private tutoring is but you could do online classes with good tutors for way less than that.
You can't chase me with the "it's only reserved for people with money". There's ways to invest well and less than those numbers. Those numbers may not be bad either if you compare it with how much people invest in other types of education in the US, which I presume is what you're talking about.

No, where I live all education is provided as a free service. The US education system, putting people into a life of debt just acquire the minimum of marketable skills, is broken beyond repair and not a valid point of comparison.
On the other hand, people with qualifications also demand reasonable salaries and need to pay taxes. "Private tutoring" is not a 10 minute zoom call.
