I'd guess your leaning back to much and diving the kite too low. Try sining the kite high and narrow.... strictly between 11&1 oclock.
As you are pulled up vertically increase your downward dive to increase your forward motion. Leaning back twintip style is hard to overcome but you should be endeavouring to be bolt upright, at least in the early stages. Once your comfortable edging wil be more available and controllable.
