Change In Study Plan (Private Tutor?)

Hello!

I am looking for some guidance on next steps (study plans? resources?) and possible recommendations for a private tutor (specifically verbal).
I will preface this post by saying, I am extremely frustrated and I am trying not to down on myself. I (wrongly) assumed I could make my way to a decent GMAT score quickly (~3months). I also know that I need to hear the critical feedback, as much as I don't want to

My Story: I am struggling on increasing my Verbal score - I have not been able to make any real progress in ~3months. My first mistake was dedicating most of my time on Quant, since my first score started low 30's, however I now average around 44 (which is better but I'd like to score higher, my best coming at ~47) As for Verbal, I realize at the start that I had an issue with time, so I needed to start skipping questions to give myself more time for problems I could solve. Once I finally gave in to that basic strategy, my score increased but not as much as I need for my goal score of 690+. I recently took the online GMAT, which provided me some issues (details below) and I realize I need to make changes to my study plans, as what I am doing right now is obviously not working for me.

I will share a little bit more about my studies below, I am hoping I could get the opinion and guidance of more experienced GMAT folks. Thank you!

More on my GMAT Studies
- I work a full-time job (english is my native language)
- I am able to put in a min of 2hrs a day and more on the weekends. This is about the time and effort I've been putting in for the past couple of months +/-.
- I started studying November 21' but didn't really feel like I was dedicating my full time until Dec/Jan 22'
- Resources: Dec/Jan I went through the Manhattan Books and Veritas Books (overlapping on subjects I had issues with).
- Practice Problems: I have only been working off of the 2019 OG GMAT books. I have finished problems for the OG books and Verbal/Quant Review books. Going through the problems I have issues with, but looks like they are not sticking well enough.
- Verbal: I am struggling... missing questions in all areas and usually rushed for time. SC is a huge weakness of mine, I keep going through it and feel like I get it (and then result obviously show that I don't). As for RC, it's not terrible but I've been trying different strategies and ended up with not taking notes - it's been working but I am obviously not 100% accurate. As for CR, it's similar as RC.
- Timing: I have been following Manhattan's white board recommendations for time check/pacing

Practice Exams/Scores (I realize I also made the mistake of running out of OG Practice Exams + retaking them)... for context, I took an Exam 1x a week b/c I was hoping to take my exam earlier, but based on result I pushed it back much further than I anticipated.

Official Online GMAT, I had a pretty poor experience (1) I move my lips when going through the verbal section, 10min into my exam my proctor interrupted me -- this obviously effected me throughout the entire section/exam, since I start with Verbal (2) My proctor was not present when required, i.e. I had to keep speaking/messaging on the video chat to get his attention. I even ended my test and waited for about ~10min before I could leave b/c no one came back when I called for guidance. I even had to reach out to support for someone to help me. Additionally, my grandfather passed away the week of... it was a rough week.

Goals
- I realize I need to adjust my expectations. I took the online exam (3/14) to finally "pull the trigger" and see how I'd fair (that obviously did not work out), so I planned on retaking the exam in person next week (4/12). 1 month after my online exam with the assumption I could make more improvements in between that time. Per my last mock exam, I have made minimal/no progress. Although my initial plan was to give myself a fighting chance to see what I could actually score in a testing environment (due to my poor Online experience). I am not very hopeful for 'dream' score, so I obviously need to make some changes....
- Target Score 690+
- Apply First Round, Fall 2022

Sorry for the word vomit, I was hoping to provide as much context as possible to pre-answer any possible follow-up questions.
My thoughts lean towards a private tutor for some 1:1 guidance and possible study plans, but as you can tell I am at a loss for what should be my next steps.
Thank you for taking the time to read, any and all advice is welcome!
