Ive started teaching

I SELF TAUGH. AND I FOUND IT TO BE QUITE FUN AND EASY.

There is a really good book called `I used to play piano` which has loads of exercises. It also has songs which are in units. Unit 1 is very easy Unit 2 easy Unit 3 intermediate etc.

Try considering each new hand arrangement as a single motion. Perhaps you already do, bu if not.....

Thanks

Although boring, practicing scales etc. will strengthen the muscles in your fingers which will help you alot. Practice extremely slowly at first (and even when you can play a piece fast, always practice slowly as well). I`m sure other people will have better advice though.
