Another tip I can give you is DO NOT hold the ruler in the middle. Instead, hold it at the lower third and cut only as far as your hand, then walk your hand up to the next section and cut some more until you have made a complete cut.
I do that and also keep my "pinky" off the ruler and right up against the mat. It seems to help with the slipping. Of course I also have the sandpaper dots.
