How do I stay centre in the lane?

Hey! So I’m learning to drive in my 30s. For context, I’m in Canada. For the most part I’m doing well, but one of the things I’m struggling with is staying centred in the lane. I tend to veer to the right, and it’s something that everyone I drive with has noted. I feel like I’m in the centre, and it feels like if I were to go further to the left, I’d be too close to oncoming traffic. What are some tips to correct this to make sure I’m always in the centre?

I am in a difficult situation help…

I want to learn to drive.
I don’t have anyone to teach me.
I can’t pay for lessons myself. (My grandmother is my power of attorney, and is in control of my money)
The available transportation option is too far away, from where I live.

I want to learn to drive to go back to school. My grandmother says learning isn’t important but I want to be fully independent from her.

What to do if I can't see back wheels in mirror? In exam I need to put car on a fixed line, but without seeing them it's hard

I'm new to driving, and will be taking exam in September. I'm now training it on driving range, but every car is different. Yesterday I was training on Polo, and there I could clearly see back wheels in mirror so putting car on fix line when parking was easy. Today it was another car( in exam it will be yet another car ) where the wheels is too deep in car body and I couldn't put it on fix line properly. I need some tip on how to orient where the car wheels without seeing them in the mirror

Sorry if I have grammatical mistakes, I'm not English speaker

What reference points do you use when reverse parking?

What reference points do you use when reverse parking?
For example, do you line up your side mirror with the parking line before you start turning? Or do you use a different method? I’m trying to find a consistent technique because I keep ending up too close to one side or not centered in the space.

How do I get my confidence back after not driving for 13 years??

I passed my manual uk test Oct '12 . Day before the test after a practice drive I wrote the car off doing a u turn. Still passed the next day. I drove for a year then had to scrap my car and stopped driving. Now my mobility is bad so I managed to get a nice car. I went out with an instructor yesterday who said I was a good driver with excellent hazard awareness and I didn't need any more lessons. Just to practice my mirrors . But the thought of driving terrifies me. My husband has been really patient and willing to help but this mindless anxiety is driving me crazy. I'm usually quite confident but driving genuinely doesn't come naturally so any tips are welcome. I can get out and about now and the longer I leave it the harder it will be
