I can't quite figure out how to write it down in the form used by your teacher, but would expect that you would start the scale where the teacher notated the second note of a G scale (A on the G string).

The second note would be B, the third note shown in teachers notation for the G scale.

The third note would be a C#, which is a half-step higher than the fourth note of the G scale. I don't see how your teachers notation permits the half-step up indication.

The fourth note, D#, would be reached by stretching the "pinky finger" two semi-tones higher on the same string.

You would then repeat the identical finger pattern on the D string to continue the scale.

The finger pattern is identical to what you would use if you played the G scale starting on the open G string but then played down the scale onto the C string.

You can find the location of the notes on the viola chart at Viola Fingering Chart. The A scale starts at the second number 1 on the G string.

The chart shows finger/note positions numbered 0 1 1 2 2 3 4 4 in first postion on each string.

For a scale starting on an open string, you would play the underlined 0 1 1 2 2 3 4 4 and then jump to the next higher string and repeat the sequence.

Since the A scale starts a full tone (two semi-tones) up on the G string, you wuld play the underlined 0 1 1 2 2 3 4 4 and then repeat on the next higher string.
