Right Hand Tips

Hi there, I've just started to pick up the bass seriously and have been taking lessons. Plucking strings using my fingers seems to be rather tough in terms of keeping the pressure even from string to string and skipping strings makes my thumb and fingers go nuts (they just move wherever).

Are there any exercises to do that can help me with my right hand technique?
