The wing drop

1972
Don't let the 'wing drop' as it is called worry you so much. Current Certificates of Airworthiness require that the wing shouldn't initially drop by more than 30 degrees which is the normall turning angle of bank used. However if nothing is done the further effects of yaw leading to further roll and so on takes place.
An interesting experience for you if your Instructor agrees is to simply allow this to happen but simultaneously lower the nose to gain speed. the wing should very quickly pick up but will not increase in angle very much. You will not have recovered with minimum height loss but you will gain some confidence in your aeroplane to then accept the 'Standard Stall Recovery' technique training you are receiving.
