The torpedo tutorial ships are rigged a little bit against you: 1) they always have tremendous acceleration, and 2) if you take too long, they disappear. I thought that getting a perfect score in the tutorial was actually quite difficult, so much so that I've never bothered to finish that mission. Don't be discouraged if these ships seem tougher than they appear.
If you are so inclined, you can use the mission creator tool to make more docile ships to practise with.
Other than that, try to get as close to a 90-degree solution as you can. Learn to use the TDC to set some of the simpler torpedo settings, especially speed, depth, and trigger. Faster torpedoes will allow the target ship fewer moves to escape your attack, although their range is short. Magnetic triggers allow you to make shots other than 90 degrees, but the magnetic trigger works much better if you shoot the torpedo about 1 meter below the keel of the target.
