Very likely. I show up usually more than half and hour early for each flight. Have both the commercial PTS and the flight instructor PTS with me up front on the dash as we take off and refer to it throughout the flight. I regularly have to drag information out of him.
This young man is never on time for lessons. The most recent lesson had us taking off 45 minutes after our start time yet I had arrived and preflighted nearly an hour before our flight.
I have repeatedly counseled him not to take into account my background and treat me like any other student he might instruct. I have asked for feedback after every maneuver. It is rarely offered beyond "that was good".
I've brought the horse to the river. What more can I do here?
