As with many other non-aviation professions, there are many "instructors" who go to work to get it over asap, until the next pay cheque goes into the bank account.
You'll know them when you fly with them - and that sounds like the experience Victa had. Unfortunately.

Most of us in aviation do the job BECAUSE we like it - not in spite of it. And some people, having spent the money and time to get themselves into an Instructor position - but then subsequently finding that they don't like it - may not feel that they are in a position to move on. Again, you'll know these people when you fly with them.

You Victa, are paying the $$$'s. There is no good reason for persisting with an Instructor whom you feel is not delivering the goods.
You'll be better off, and s/he will also probably get far greater satisfaction from NOT flying - a "win-win" situation.
