I changed my English learning strategy (need advice!

My English level is at about C1 level. I took the TOEFL test and got 95 points one year ago. However, after one year of practice on the TOEFL test and tried 4 times, I have no improvement in my score. I realize that I need to change my learning strategy and here is my plan.
First, I need a large English input. Based on Krashen's input theory, large Input is necessary for language learning to take place. So I plan to read books in a variety of fields every day.
Second, I will have more actual English conversations with native speakers. I have been live abroad for half a year, talking to native speakers every day. After that, my English speaking has a lot of improvement. I was convinced that conversation could really help in language learning. So, my plan is to find a tutor on italki. But I doubt the effectiveness of one or two hours a week of tutoring. It seems like 1/hr per week is not enough for having noticeable growth.
Any suggestion or experience would be appreciated. I really want to improve my English and thanks for your advice and correction.

In English, the first letter of all nouns, verbs, adjetives, adverbs, pronouns, etc., are all capitalized in the title. Also, because it seems as though you are currently changing your strategy (I skimmed the entry first), it would be in present tense.

My English level is at about C1 level.

Since you speak English really well I'll be picky with your sentences :) I would say at C1 level or about C1 level. At about is a little awkward.
