    Lat pulldowns
    Assisted pullup machine
    Do as many sets of 2 pullups as you can till failure
    Jump up to bring yourself up then lower yourself down slowly for as many reps as you can. Maybe add some weight to a dip belt.

    Every other day, just do pull ups. Let your shoulders rest and recouperate. Don't push it too much too fast because you can hurt yourself. You should be able to increase your strength pretty quickly. That's one of those things that just doing it is the best thing. I would guess you have phys ed once a week, maybe twice. Every time you do it in class you'll be doing more.
