Providing you "graduated" Flight School with all the necessary ratings i.e. at least CPL/FI(R) you could start instructing as soon as some school takes pity on you and gives you a job.

Nearly all instructors are low hours in the beginning, so self-conscious or not you just have to be aware of your comparative lack of both experience and ability to instruct a wide variety of people/aptitudes.

Flying skills are not usually too much of a problem as you are not doing anything that you haven't done lots of already.

I read somewhere that your first couple of PPL students should be "for free" as you learn more than they do. .

I've only recently started instructing and have learnt a great deal already.

Good luck anyway.
