Hi! I write with the left hand but I don't understand why my right hand's technique is better. Can you give me any advice how to improve left hand's technique?

too complex a topic to really cover like this, but generically, generally, overall, etc.
1. work left hand technique patterns (i.e. scales, arpegios, broken chords) to a high achievement and fast tempo with solid relaxed technique
2. work on pieces with difficult left hand parts, i.e. many Scriabin works, Kapustin (especially, generally his left hand writting is horrendously difficult vs many pieces in the 'classical tradition'), fast Mozart works requiring light quick passage work, i.e scalar, alberti bass lines, etc., Bach, inventions, sinfonias, fugues, lots of them.
3.see points 1 and 2.
not exhaustive and not an 'only' way but that's how i'd go about exploring, youll need to diagnost exactly what is lacking in the left hand, just saying it needs technique works about as helpful as saying your playng overall needs 'sound' work,
