Sounds like you need to get a feel for both clutch and throttle so do it in an empty parking lot or similar. It felt like a stupid thing to do, at the riding course, to walk the bike using the clutch friction zone, but in retrospect, it was a good thing. I figured, I've ridden dirtbike before, I know this, but it was still good to do it.

Once you have a handle on that, you can add just a tiny bit of throttle. Get a feel for it. The bike doesn't actually need any throttle to move. It's slow, but that's ok.

It's good that you've reached out to an instructor and please do take the training course. Totally worth the cash.
