How do I stop myself slicing my tee shots?
Answers:
Try 2 things,
first go full strength and try to Pull or hook the ball, just to get a feel of doing the opposite.
second, slow down and try to hit a tee shot NO LONGER THAN 100-150 YARDS, this is very difficult, if you do this you will fall in rythm and kill the slice.
Slice is caused by the club face travelling outside - in at impact, keep this in mind and try to fix it

try turning your club face in to you it looks strange but it should help also you may be hitting to hard use about 80% of your swing
Here is a three page thread with discussion on fading/slicing:

Rotate your club anti-clockwise. Also, on the driving range put a head-cover 50cm to the right and 10cm behind the ball to prevent wrong swing arc.

Ok. I used to be Golf Pro and the easiest way to stop slicing is to finish low with your swing. Feel like your hands are staying low throughout the swing. Get that handicap down!

There are lots of things that will cause a slice. You could be swinging from the outside to the inside causing the club face to come across the ball which will cause the slice. This is the most common one. Also try slowing your swing down and see if the slice straightens out. Your grip on the club can also cause a slice. The v formed by your thumb and index finger should point to the hosel of the clubhead.
The club pro who we are learning with suggested that my slice was due to releasing my hands in the swing too soon. I slowed the swing down and released the hands a little later and gradually reduced the slice. Having a practise swing that was real as well seems to be helping.
assuming you're a rightyl; when you address the ball, place your left foot slightly forward of your right foot. since you were probably taught or learned that your feet should be parallel to each other at address, placing your left foot ahead of your right will help you promote a more desirable draw, as opposed to a straight out slice. this may take some time in adjusting to however as far as "quick fixes" go, this one is relatively easy. might wanna practice it a bit first at the range and see how it feels.
my golf techer many years ago gave me simple topics to avoid some falts.. for the slice he told me this.." if you wear your watch on the left arm always give the time to your ball" !!! he just ment that facing the watch towards the ball during the swing avoids many slice problems. It worked for me and i still ..give the right time to my ball !!
there are a number of reasons as 2 y u slice a golfball...so without seeing your swing their is no solution...however a couple of common faults are
not standing square to the targetwith shoulders and feet
taking your swing out to in
Try your aliginment like your feet inline with your shoulders and hips! also make sure you turn you hands during impact!

get the club face closed by rolling your wrists over through your follow through and also your club path might be a little outside to in. which means your club is coming from the outside of the ball towards you and generating side spin. one thing that i Know i used to do is hinge my wrist at the top of my back swing. your wrist is supposed to be flat so you could check that too.
