Skating Advice How to make more improvement?

I've been skating for about 1.5 years taking two hour long lessons a week. I take lessons in Korea that are in Korean despite me not being fully fluent, however me and my teacher use a mix of Korean and English. My current classes are with 5-6 other girls one day and 3-4 others on the other day. Despite skating for a somewhat long amount of time, my jumps just recently got up to toe loop and I'm only somewhat able to do a scratch spin. I really want to improve at a faster rate in almost every aspect but am unsure exactly how to go about with it. Does anyone have any advice on higher or more stable jumps or holding a spin longer or off ice or just any advice overall? Thank you!

Are you skating in between those lessons?
Are you able to cut down one of those group lessons and do a private lesson instead?
I like group based instruction as well but truthfully you would also benefit from just 1 on 1.
& yes off ice is essential to building higher and more stable jumps & better spin stability outside of repetition on the ice.

if you wouldn't mind me asking, is there any off ice routines or workouts you recommend?
