Its not giving you any relevant information for what you’re trying to do.
Altimeter, airspeed and the “ball”.
Wings level, nose up or down you do that by looking outside.
No idea, not sure if she wants me looking at instruments more than outside or what. We did do some clearing turns and she noted “that’s how the horizon should look when in a 30 degree bank and then had me do it and at the time I was also watching the ADI to try and stay at a 30 degree bank and also the airspeed indicator as not to increase speed or have drastic decrease in speed also while watching the altimeter.

Like I just told my buddy at work about my lesson, I know this lady has 1500 hrs of good instruction from a well known instructor in my area. I just hope the training I’m receiving will have some sort of structure. We spent 1.9 hrs practicing taxing, doing these clearing turns, doing some reducing throttle and seeing how the altimeter would drop with a drop in throttle and then we did 2 touch and gos that she flew I guess just to describe how to land. I just hope she has some sort of plan of what we will do on each training day instead of just winging it. I’ll also add not once in the session has she covered looking at a fixed item in the horizon, which the more and more I read after what you posted is maybe what I should be looking at instead of spending all my time looking inside the cockpit at the Instruments.
