I know you don't want to hear it, but without the mat time to balance out the tutorial learning you are asking for an information overload. You will be practicing the stuff you learned in the book instead of the instructor's lessons. It is really tough to try a bunch of new things every night because it just gets to be too much.
This is only what I have encountered early on in my training so take it for what it's worth. Picking up a couple of techniques to try in between classes is one thing, but I don't think you will see anything but very small gains when compared going to class.
