That is such a broad question. You obviously don't go to a voice trainer but... hmmm... there are SO many tip/things you learn as you go along from your voice trainer. Open your mouth? No seriously, no kidding, the more you open you mouth the higher you can go. Concentrate on your diaphragm

It is kinda hard to answer with out being able to hear different sounds that you would need to hear to understand. First you want to breath from your diapham. A good way to be able to tell if you are singing through your nose is to hold your nose while singing, if it sounds nasally then you are not usen your diapham. Another good exercise is to hold a note out with one breath, the more you practice the better it will get.
If you are reading music, then make sure to work on only taken a breath when there is a rest on the sheet music, so you dont break into your margins(a bracket of words that are meant to flow together).
Try not to use vibrato(where the sound kinda bounces) when it needs to be a straight sound. (This is a place you need to hear the difference to really get what I mean)
Dont start off trying to sing very high notes, get your voice strong with the notes in your general range, then work on increasing your range.
If you have a sore throat use lemon juice and water, also warm tea. Singers do not want to drink milk, or eat chocolate before singing, it coats the voice cords.
Good luck

Sore throat? Try an apple or pear (or their juices)
Don't do anything that will hurt your voice in any way
When looking for a teacher, ask about his/her backgroud in music, and whether they are willing to help you learn how to sing something other than their style of singing
Just because a singer sounds nice doesn't mean s/he can sing
When you are learning to sing, you are doing it to find out what your voice is capable of, not someone else's; be happy with what you have
To those who want to sing pop music: There is nothing wrong with learning classical
To those who wish to sing classical: There is nothing wrong with learning popular
You are not the person on the radio-don't try to imitate them unless you are trying to learn something
Don't inhale any kind of smoke at any time whatsoever
Reason: Smoke sticks to and burns your vocal cords.
Don't drink
Don't do drugs
Don't allow people to come at your vocal cords with sharp instruments. In other words: Don't allow doctors to perform surgery on your vocal cords, as there is a possibility you may never sing again after this. The only way to not have vocal problems is to not do harm to your voice in the first place, a skill which isn't taught due to lack of information.
No more yelling
You can forget ice-cold drinks unless you have some sort of trauma to the throat area, i.e. tonsils removed, that sort fo thing.
Reason: It tightens up your vocal cords. They must be warm and loose in order for you to sing properly.
Don't talk too much
Reason: It wears down your vocal cords.
Try to stay away from a lot of dust
Try to cough a little quieter
Don't sing in groups, choirs, etc.
Reason: Blending with other people can throw off your ear. Choruses don't usually stay in key.
Don't sing any song out of you range
