I note that you have received a lot of advice but I would repeat the sound advice given by various people that you should listen to your Instructor.
When you are learning to fly you are in the hands of your instructor. He/she is your guru and, unless you have some reason to request a change of instructor, it is his/her advice and instruction to which you should listen. Pose your query to your instructor and try to take his/her advice without question to improve your skills and get your license. You can then join in the debate about whether the advice and instruction you were given was the best.
I also note Penguina's post of yesterday asking how you are getting on now as we haven't heard from you whether you have found any of the advice helpful since the 4th December.
