I don't think you need to get a tutor from a remote country. I would just enroll them in an after-school math program like Kumon. But yes, enhancing the education after school in general is likely what motivated parents with means would do.

Isn't Kumon just drilling basic stuff?

yeah its a lot of drills, I hated it as a kid but it worked. I didn't use it for algebra or beyond but I'm pretty sure they have it.
