It shouldn't be to much of a problem, usually when you finish a combo with a straight right, you would throw a left kick, so you could either just throw a front leg kick or do a switch kick.
I'm starting Muay Thai on Tuesday, and since it's my first fighting sport that involves kicks, I'm wondering if I might have some trouble.
I ask this because my dominant hand is right, while my dominant leg is left. And I'm not a bit ambidextrous.
Will this be a problem?
No. But for the sake of simplicity, you should probably learn how to fight with your strong hand back in a the conventional stance. This will not only make it easy for you to absorb and execute technique, but it will make it a lot easier for your trainer to help correct any issues that they notice.

Yup, the switch kick technique has definitely helped me improve the effectiveness of kicking and kneeing with my left leg.
I have a similar problem to you beardslay in that even though i'm naturally right handed, I much prefer the southpaw stance so that I can lead with my right. I feel much more fluid in that position. My rear isn't as powerful, but it doesn't feel significantly weak, either.
Is it possible then to have a right handed southpaw or is it because I have yet to learn how to jab effectively with my left?

This is how I am. My left hand is much more accurate and faster, i have no idea why. Same with my left leg. And i prefer the southpaw stance, but i can do either. I am also naturally right handed with most things. And ive learned some good power punches with my right hand out front, and how to switch it up and no confuse myself. I think its something everyone should learn

I've started focussing on transitioning. Having problems with fluidity though
it definitly takes some time to get use to, I still suck at doing the switch kick myself and i practice it alot on the heavy bag, I'll just work kicks for 3 rounds at a time and one or two of them ill just do the switch over and over...
Some times ill try take a step with my right leg and making sure my foot is already in the right position and I can get some good power that way... i think it has to do more with me turning my hips over, that part is what really feels awkward for me.
