one way I know it sounds dumb, is if you walk around and jump off like stair and do 3's alot, which I do, just start doing them the other way all the time. Then just go WAY to big and huch it the wrong way so you get the feel

but definitely practice

start from the basics. make sure you pop (and pop evenly) while setting a smooth rotation.
and do everything off snow unnatural. it helps

he thinks you suck because you are confused about natural and unnatural.

natural is the way you feel most comfortable spinning.so if you spin right better and more comfortably thats natural, even though other peoples natural direction may be different.
