Tilting of head

I seem to have this problem that I can't get rid of. During my backswing, I end up tilting my head so that the chin ends up further from the target than the top of my head. I don't think I have a problem with the head moving up/down or too far to the right, it's just a tilt which I am trying to fight. Coach pointed this out to me and said it can lead to a tendency of reverse pivot. I'm trying to correct that during my practice sessions, and the only way I seem to be able to do so is active create the feeling like I'm trying to tilt it the other way - only then does my head still look 'straight' at the top of my swing. And in that position, the head and left shoulder feels really tensed. Is that how it's supposed to feel? If I ease that tension a bit, the head ends up tilting...
