This is normal and a real affect common to taildragging aircraft.
Because the Airplane is resting on its tail, the prop is tilted back slightly.
When the plane begins to move forward, the right side of the prop is taking a bigger bite of the air than the left side, pulling the plane to the left.
Counter with right rudder, and as you gain speed and the tail lifts off the ground, ease off the rudder to keep the plane flying straight.
It takes practice, good luck!
