I'm sure you'll figure it out. Being one of the most introverted people on God's green earth, I never thought in a million years I could ever teach another victim responsibly to fly a machine. But 2500hrs teaching pilots in helos of all things, it made me realize I'm capable in just about anything. My point, In a couple of years after teaching, you'll wonder why you worried so much about it. Just another chapter in this crazy adventure. Hit it head on. Not to discourage but the CFI initial has the highest fail rate out of all rides. If you blow it the first time, walk away with a lesson from it and hit it again. Since that time, I've done all 5 CFI rides in fixed and rotary. Just a glutton for punishment. Best..
