how to synchronize my hands?

My left hand cannot synchronize with my right hand when I play scales. My left hand play slower than my right hand. Help me please, what should I do? Thanks.

If you're righthanded, it´s normal that your right hand is better in playing the piano and faster and that your left hand is slower. You can synchronize them by putting all your attention, while playing the scale, to your left hand and let your right hand follow the left hand.

Feel the beat. Play slower. Then push the speed up carefully over time.

Make sure your left hand knows what it's doing by itself. Play LH alone. Mine isn't as confident as the right, but that's how it is.

do more practice on the weaker hand
like you practice the scale on the right hand 5 times followed and on the left hand 10 times
