Investment advice can legally only be dispensed by a licensed rep. I suggest you call yours, or wherever you purchased the plan through for specific advice.

That said, hypothetically, to avoid any potential conflict, you could apply the 529 dollars you would like to spend on a tutor and apply that instead to room, board or tuition, thus freeing up the equal amount of funds for tutoring.
