You will never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, purposely enter a corner any faster than you truly believe you have the skill to steer through it. - csmith

Head to a parking lot, make A LOT of right turns. Learn to love them, think about them, smell them, taste them, take a picture of yourself riding though a right turn, print it out and put it under your pillow at night.
Mr. Fist has started you on the right path. Visual skills will guide you through any corner and good throttle control will complete the basic package to manage your concern with right handers. Look up, look far, find some markers and execute those markers at a comfortable entry speed. It is common for riders to prefer a side, left or right. Think about what is going on for the right side. HINT: the throttle is on that side, what else is on that side? What other input do you have to put into the bike to turn right?
Overall, there is a lot of things going on to make a right turn.
1. You have to set entry speed - right side of bike
2. You have to manage the throttle + braking during downshifting - right side of bike
3. You have to manage the rear brake (if used) - right side of bike
4. You have to turn your head to the right
5. You have to push the right bar to turn the bike
It makes perfect sense that you currently prefer left turns over rights at your current skill level. Practice and it will feel better over time. Don't just practice in general, practice skills that will make you a better rider and your comfort with rights will come automatically.
Good luck and enjoy your MSF class.
ps... Always keep it fun!
