Try to make sure you keep your head up while going slowly, you'll naturally want to look down at the road just ahead of your front wheel. Keeping your head up and looking further ahead should make you less wobbly.

I know it's a obvious thing, and you'll have been told it before, but it's very easy to forget.........
