Not a bad start, yes there is a little bit of divergence in the beginning of the longer lines and the also at the end. But still thats pretty normal I guess, just needs more practise.
Maybe I am wrong, but I feel like you should draw more with the whole arm, even for the smaller lines, that will help with the wobbliness. Also one thing thats helping me, and could help you too, is like prepare your pen at the start then aim your eyes on the final destination and let the arm to the rest.
Continue on the next excercise, everything will get better as you go on :D.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Ellipse Master Template
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
