It would help to know what lever you are currently at.

(Well... I’m kinda bad... I’m learning the Turkish March but I have some trouble with my pinky... (I just found out...) like it’s « moving » when I play with my third and fourth finger... and yes I know it’s very...)
I would just like to know any exercice to help with basics, for scales, broken scales... this kind of things...
(Sorry if my English is bad :/)

Exercises aren't a magical cure. You need to figure out what hand motions you need to correct. Since you already have a teacher, it's best if you can talk to your teacher about this, since they can see your playing in real time and suggest improvements.

Exercises help to reinforce proper technique, playing exercises ineffectively isn't really that useful, and can even be harmful or counterproductive.
