It is. And they will. I would focus on your form and how you're holding the guitar as a first step.
This proper form will give you a good base as your fingers gradually build the strength and flexibility to play cleanly.
Allow yourself to be frustrated but pay attention to how you are actually improving and enjoy it.
Really pay attention to the instructor; how they're sitting, holding the guitar, thumb position, finger positions. There's a lot of visual information besides the notes you're hearing.
