Laugh: I am not clear from your first post whether your teacher plays the classical violin style, but not fiddle style: or whether she doesnt play the instrument at all. I think if she doesnt play at all, you need to get a fiddle-teaching video to help, if there is really no fiddler around.
Or alternatively, just get cracking, Learn to bow the rhythm bum-titty bum-titty bum-titty-bum-titty fast and solid. Then you're off! Keep the bow at right angles to the string and go for it.
