Is it worth spending 2000 per month for a private guitar tuitor,  the teacher claims he will teach me ear training also? Please reply asap, thanks 

Well, if you are confident that you can learn then go for it, music is not cheap so you have to pay. Ear training is not an option to teach, a music teacher must need to teach along with the sight reading.
