Your work is no way amateurish. That timing on the blue twister is pretty sweet. I do like the motion blur effect on the hand, Id probably mess with the green after shock a bit more, make it ease-out rather than ease-in
Fire is a beast of its own. I have never got fire animation correct. Here is a reference image of my fire effects if it will help

fire is actually one of my favorite things to animate. once you decide the style, you just think of it in a practical sense. the base it hottest so has the most mass, and the heat pushes the smaller bits upwards. your highlights or as devilsgarage said, "details" want to morph around the fuel source, be it a log, wick, or whatever the source of the flame is.

one thing that's easy to fall back on is "breathing fire" like what you did, where to complete the loop your flame projects upwards, then seemingly back down. try and avoid it and have a constant flow. i've got a couple different examples here.
the first is a torch where you can see the source and flow

the second here is a larger flame, say on a building or campfire. the source isn't as defined in this case. also this animation is double framed so mind the chop. also notice the right-most flame has a directional flow to the right, to show that the wind and fuel source acting on it are constant.

good luck and i hope to see more!
