I'm used to driving old cars, so maybe this is why I've never noticed my instructor's feet on the pedals, either that or he is very good at not making it obvious - even on landings I'm never really aware of any unannounced inputs. However, after only 5 hours in my logbook, it would be no surprise to feel a little rudder pursuasion, say, while we are about to touch down

Personally, I'd find it irritating to constantly feel any controls being driven for me while in normal flight... that's my job as a student. I'd sooner be told I'm hashing things up, so I can put it right, unless of course things are getting very big in the window, very fast
