When I first started, learning one chord at a time seemed like a challenge. I had to get used to holding the guitar, enduring the finger pain, not causing buzzing or dead strings when I tried to make a chord. Changing from one chord to another was something a week or two away, and changing smoothly enough to contemplate a song actually took me a month or so.
I'd say slow down on your teaching goals. The most important thing at the start is to not get discouraged, and feeling overwhelmed with there being so much to learn can be very discouraging.
