An old firend of mine once said that 'An Instructor can either make you or destroy you'.
Than again it all depends on the students competance and the ability to obey and learn fast. Also common sense comes into play but than again common sense its not so common now a days...
....
I must say that my PPL training was one of the best times in my life. Instructor and I became really close friends, and I always use to listen to what he says. I cut for solo after 9 hrs, ok I have been flying on flight simulator for the past 5 years and yes that HELPS alot!
My point is that as long as you click with your instructor and he knows he can trust you, you shouldn't have any problems!
Well that is my 2 cents...
