I wasn't that much different when I started to ride.
In fact, making friends & going on rides together with them bordered on being detrimental coz, as I discovered, there was too much peer pressure to ride dangerously. Masing2 nak tunjuk power, masing2 nak laju. They'll showcase both the good and the bad, and it was up to me to read up and tell which is which.
This gap in practical roadcraft training in driving schools reveals a potential that driving schools could address in their business model, and it's one of the topics I'm considering for my doctoral dissertation in postgrad school.

Riding with bigger groups is downright dangerous for new riders. Too much ego at play and the new rider could easily find him/herself way over Thier heads.
Instead, ask a more experienced rider for a 1 to 1 ride. I usually just stay behind and let the newer rider set the pace, then observe and give pointers on how to improve. I feel that way is much better.
I was previously an instructor for the 4 wheeled variety and we see the same thing on the track. By just trying to keep up, they fail to learn proper techniques.
