Probably you can check if your flaps are extended 1 notch and the elevatortrim is set to neutral ( TO) or slightly nose-up.
If set correct the bird will almost rotate by itself.
Also check if both magnetos are on and that your throttle produces around 2500rpm.
Also important is that you don’t jank the joystick to the max ( especialy during your take-off rol) because that will result in a stall.
Disclaimer: I haven’t done the simulators training program so probably all is set automaticaly
