The simplest things you could do would be to check if the chain is dry & if so apply a bit of chain lube (sewing machine oil would do the trick) to the chain & derailleurs.

If the chain & cassette is full of gunk, it wouldn't hurt to give them a bit of a degrease first. All you really need is a spray bottle with a mixture of water and dishwashing liquid & an old rag.

The gears might need adjusting. I'm not too good with that kind of mechanical stuff, but some of the others might be more informed.

When riding, pedal in a slightly lower gear than normal. That way you should have a more steady spin, making you go faster.

Other people might have more ideas also.
