A good teacher, in my opinion:

--Teaches you the skills and knowledge you need to play what you want to play. It's even better if one of those skills is learning how to figure out what you need in the first place. The best skill to learn is how to hear. If you can do that, you can figure anything out. (At which time the teacher may become unnecessary, but what the heck.)

--Leaves you feeling inspired. You leave with a challenge, not a boring or seemingly insurmountable task.

--Makes you feel like you can learn. Personally, I can feel I'm stupid enough without paying someone to help.

--Makes you do things you find difficult, but makes you want to do them and believe you can.

You sound like you have a teacher who's just teaching you songs, not so much technique, and doesn't care much about the music or you.

Go with your gut.
