If they ask you how long you've been instructing, answer with, "I've been an instructor for XXX days/months/years (However long it's been singe you did your CFI checkride)"
I think it would kill your credibility more if you didnt let them become aware of this. Word of advice for actually teaching however, keep your hands off the controls as much as safety permits. Dont make physical corrections for them until it is necessary for the safety of flight, and dont drink before a flight.
