Driving Tips Needed

I'm now learning how to drive an automatic car, and it's so challenging for me. I'm also on the shorter side for a female. Under 5 feet. I really would appreciate some driving tips if you would be so kind. I'm having difficulty knowing whether or not I'm keeping the car straight. I realized that I'm either too much on one side of the road, or the other, almost like I'm swerving.

Thanks

Put your left foot on the rest pad near the outside of the car…just behind the parking brake pedal if you don’t have a hand brake. That spot is directly behind the left front tire and gives you a much better feel for where your wheels are on the road.
