But I can tell you now that will be hard to prove.
Schools like this have been giving Florida a bad name for many many years now and unfortunately it is relatively easy to cover your tracks as far as Training Records are concerned.
The FAA has a responsibility to the public. Whenever an accident occurs with a student or fairly new certified pilot, the Feds will talk to the instructor. They should display the same responsibility whenever there is slow learning progress from a CFI. A CFI has to demonstrate sufficient and adequate skills as an instructor.

Worst case scenario, you could file a complaint with the FAA that the instructor doesn't demonstrate those skills. Getting on the FAA's radar is something no CFI would like to experience.
