Slipsliding away
I'm a low hours PPL and the OP's comments scare me somewhat.It would appear if what he is saying is true,his instructor is asking him to do something he can't manage himself very well-all very suspect.
I certainly couldn't have coped with this that early in my training ( not an authority on it now either).Perehaps he is alluding to the wing down xwind approach method (something else I haven't mastered yet)
Needs to clear this up before he flies again IMHO.
