Default I have problem. I correct the aileron the wrong way at takeoff

Hi all,
I have a problem with correcting the ailerons the wrong way at takeoff,
obviously that is a very serious problem and I would like some feedback if
possible.

First here is a bit of background.
I am a new glider pilot (44yo), I only have about 40 flights.
I have learnt in 2 different clubs one large club where I never had the same
instructor for more than 2 flights and a smaller club wher I spent a week to
get solo with the same instructor.
I started flying gliders a few month ago and had a reasonably fast
progression, at 32 flights I went solo (in the small club) and had a couple
of solos that went fine.
Then back to the larger club I had a few more flights with new instructors,
flights weren't perfect but all safe and without incidents.

Then Yesterday as I was taking off in calm conditions I touched the ground
with a wing, the instructor had to intervene, it was the 1st time an
instructor took the commands in a critical situation.
He just put the glider flat and gave me control back 5 seconds later. The
rest of the flight went fine, I had difficult conditions in circuit where
another glider was joing at the same time and height as me but I handeled it
well.

Back to the incident the instructor does not know what happened, I suspect
he did not have the hands on the commands but unfortunatley I think I know,
as the left wing dropped I think I gave stick to the left instead of right.
