How to turn in split sole pointe shoes?

I got my first pair of pointe shoes in December of 2019 but I only had 5 dance classes before quarantine and then switched to a more professional studio in September. Since then I have performed snow and flowers on pointe and mostly caught up to the girls my age (I'm 17) I have been doing a lot of pointe but I’m obviously technically behind.
I went to a pointe shoe fitting for a new type of shoe this weekend with my teacher. She liked the Bloch elegance (which are split sole) the best. I know split soles are for more advanced dancers but she really liked them and knew they were split sole
 I am finding those harder to keep stability with. Specifically with turning. I can usually do a double on both sides  but it is harder now. I can't even do a single because when I go up I find my shoe just falling off pointe back onto flat. 
 Any advice on how to gain more stability / strength when turning with these shoes or using them in general.
 
Thank!
