Get someone to videotape you doing both sides.  Its frightening how bad
you can look on videotape...

The first things I would look at would be
 - your offside scull isn't perpendicular to your boat (at the middle of the
   sculling motion.  I have problems if I scull to far forward or leaning
   back. 
 - your "top hand" is too far away from the hull as you scull,
 - your onside hand isn't below the paddle.
