Study.com: Premium & College Accelerator plans (not Basic) include tutoring services for Math, Chemistry, Physics & Biology. One 20-minute session per day. Separately, you can also ask questions about Business, Computer Science, English, History, Humanities, Math, Psychology, Science, or Social Science. 10 total questions per month, $4 for each additional question. From your Dashboard, click either "Tutoring Center" or "Message Tutors". 

StraighterLine: 10 hours of tutoring is included with membership. I'm not sure if this is per class or the limit is 10 hours no matter how many courses you buy. Guessing it's the latter? 

Sophia.org: College Algebra, Intro to Stats, Foundations of English Comp, English Comp I, and English Comp II should each include 10 hours of tutoring. With pre-scheduled tutoring sessions, you should get about 15 sessions out of this. 

ASU: For $25 per semester (at least for the first semester), you can get tutoring in subjects covered by the Universal Learner courses. Even if you plan to take Calculus somewhere else, paying $50 for a semester's worth of Calculus tutoring is a good deal ($25 course upgrade fee + $25 tutoring fee). Check your student dashboard for the link to sign up for the tutoring service.

UMPI: Not sure it applies to YourPace students (it should?) but UMPI does offer tutoring to its students.

College/university-specific tutoring: A lot of colleges and universities have free or cheap tutoring available for students. Some examples, based on schools that have been previously recommended here, include: Oakton Community College, South Texas College, Waubonsee Comunity College. To find out if the school you're using has tutoring, use the search terms "site:MYSCHOOL.edu tutor" to see what comes up. For instance, site:oakton.edu tutor has the above link as a top search result.

Tutor.com/PrincetonReview.com: If you somehow don't have any other options, this is a last resort. It's $40/mo for 1 tutoring hour per month or almost $200/mo. for 5 tutoring hours per month, so it's pretty expensive compared to choices listed above. 

Cheaper options than tutor.com can be found in this article: https://www.verywellfamily.com/best-online-tutoring-services-5073743 Some of them are  meant solely for K-12 students and NOT for college/university students but I have otherwise not checked out any of them in depth.

I used it a few times for reviews of papers I was writing, and they offered helpful suggestions, but at times I got the sense the tutor was required (to get paid) to identify x number of things, and when they got to that number, they stopped even if there were more issues.

I didn't use the live tutoring but others I know have and have found it helpful.  My current grad school (WNMU) uses the same service.
