A320 Manual Flying Help!

Hello everyone,

I am doing my type rating and it's my first experience in a jet aircraft.

I just started a few weeks ago and I am having a trouble with manual flying without AP and without ATHR.

Recently the instructor asked me to do a hold without AP and A/THR and I was having a hard time keeping the holding speed and altitude and whilst turning I lost a lot the speed and then I would apply some power and then I would overspeed it was basically a mess and he told me he has never seen someone flying so poorly before.

It was my third type rating session and I am worried I am not doing so well at the moment any tips for this? How can I get better at manual flying without having access to a simulator to practice on?

Are there any specific numbers for N1 or something and any certain bank angle I should follow?

I was trying to follow the speed trend arrow but I feel it's not reactive enough ? Maybe I am over controlling the side stick? I have no idea
