30 hrs is certainly not excessive but it is worth looking into. At one school i worked at there were guidlines that required CFI/G1 intervention at a certain point. didn't always require a flight, just a discussion with the instructor about the students progress. Just so such things didn't balloon out.
Often a fresh set of hands will work wonders. Even though yours in a G1, doesn't mean he knows everything. Have a talk to your CFI about it. often it can be the simplest thing and then you'll nail it.
most of all.....enjoy it and always be safe.
