There are console commands to change that game setting also, I'm sure.

Get items with +smithing%.

You can ask NPCs to train you in skills max 5 times for each level up. So if you simply level up, you can train 5 times in whichever skill you choose again.

Now here's a radical thought. Use the smithing skill to create items. Jewelry and Dwarven bows are a good start.

No problem, it's something people get wrong a lot, even or especially the English

I'm not certain I understand the question, but I'll give it a shot with a couple of possible variants.

1. If you're at 5/5 and can't get more training, try a level up to unlock another 5.

2. If you've leveled up and are back to 0/5, and still can't get more training, you may be beyond the trainer's skill. ie: You're 70 and the trainer is common (50), or 75 for expert, or 90 for master. At 90, nobody can train you any more, last 10 are on you.

3. If you've leveled up, lower skill than the trainer, and should be receiving training, make sure you have enough gold to pay for each skill increase.

4. If you're asking how to increase the training allowance, for example 10 or 20 per level, download and use Wrye Bash. If you have mods which alter leveled lists, you'll be needing it anyway. When you create your bashed patch, there's a tweak tab, in which you can set all sorts of things, including the number of training sessions per level. Try setting it to 20. It won't help you much at low level, when you won't be able to afford 20, but at higher level it will pay off quickly.

Just smith stuff to raise your smithing skill. You don't need training in smithing.

Save all animal pelts, make leather, make leather bracers. You get so many animal pelts you will have tons of leather if you save them.

Make dwarven bows because it's easy to collect tons of dwarven ingots with all that scrap metal they leave around.

Collect all iron ore, do not smelt it into iron, use Transmute to turn it into gold. smelt gold, make gold rings. The amount of skill you gain depends on the value of the item crafted, so ideally save all your gemstones and make the gold gemstone jewelry. This will also make you more money.

At higher smithing levels you get lots of skill by improving the more expensive items (like ebony) so at some point it makes more sense in material efficiency terms to improve junk loot before selling it. This will also make you more money. Potions and enchanted fortify smithing apparel also help with this, but improving stuff just to sell it is a waste at lower smithing levels.

i went from 97 to 100 smithing in one shot by improving a daedric weapon with max enchanted fortify smithing apparel and a fortify smithing potion.

Enchanting is also important and trains really fast. Just enchant your junk loot with the highest value enchantment before selling it using petty soul gems, save the grand soul gems for your own use. Steal all soul gems and loot all dwarf automatons and you should have plenty of soul gems to charge. Charging them gets really easy once you get the soul trap weapon enchantment. Always disenchant everything new as soon as you get it (unless it's one of the rare unique items).

There's so much loot in the game it really isn't that hard.

Alchemy can also be leveled easily if you look up the most expensive potions you can make with the cheapest ingredients.
