Am I progressing too slow for an adult skater?

Hi! Just looking for some feedback. I’m 28 and started skating 3 months ago (though I had to take 2 weeks off after I hit my tailbone) and at first I thought I was progressing quickly but now I feel like I’m hitting a plateau. I’m comfortable doing full and half swizzles forward and backwards, slaloms forward, one foot glides, and crossover. However, I really struggle with doing all of that backwards other than swizzles, I can’t do spirals properly, my two foot turns suck, and my coach has been trying to get me to do Mohawks and I can’t wrap my head around them. There are women at my rink who have been working at it for less time and are able to do way more. Am I behind?
