Really good advice.
Never be worried about asking an instructor to demonstrate something you are having issues with.
Some instructors try and talk a student through something they are struggling with for way too long - they feel they are robbing the student of stick time by taking control and demonstrating, when in fact, a good clear demonstration (or two), particularly when the student is just not getting it, can often save hours of frustration, money and wasted effort (and avoid the student reinforcing incorrect technique by repetition).
My advice to new instructors (which was passed to me when I was new) was never underestimate the value of a good demonstration.
