You want to start by establishing your balance, and that nothing affects that balance. Get your feet under your shoulders and start moving, forward then back, using small, sliding steps. Then start circling. When you circle to your right, slide the right foot over a couple inches then pivot on it. My suggestion for circling to your left is different from most, in that I recommend moving your front foot first, sliding it over maybe an inch and a half (so your feet don't cross) then pivoting. When you are comfortable moving like that, move around throwing punches, just moving your hands and not letting it affect your balance.
Then you want to coordinate the movements of your hands and feet; when the right foot moves, the right hands moves, and the same with the left side. You do the same movements as described above. But when the right foot slides forward, you jab. When you bring the left foot up (and you ALWAYS bring the left foot with you) you throw the left hand. Same thing when you circle, in either direction, right foot, right jab, left foot, left hand. When you do this you'll see why I suggest circling left by moving the right foot first.
When you pivot, especially, you want to avoid having all your weight on the front leg. This is true of footwork in general. The weight is more back than front because all the force and drive comes from the back leg; the front leg only determines direction.

How do I set my foot, both on my tips? Or only back on my tip of toe?

I'm so disappointed my trainer don't tell me all this

The front foot is 'mostly' flat, but you are real light on the heel. If that makes sense? The heel barely touches. The back foot is on the ball of the foot, heel up, and the more you can point it at your opponent, the better.
