The tails look very neat. A little bit more practice on marking and cutting the pins (my weakest point when it comes to dovetails) and you'll be well on your way.
It also may help you to practice getting the cut started many people get this wrong. Assuming you're using a western saw you need to start on the push stroke which can take a bit of getting used to. Lots of people my age were taught in CDT at school to pull back a couple of times to seat the saw, this is easier but there is a high chance of the saw jumping and you starting the cut in the wrong place.
