I think the proof is in the sound you get. If you can get an excellent tonal entrance with the tongue just under the lower lip, keep with it. This would apply to the full range of attacks, from legato tonguing to pizacatto tonguing (almost a "chirping").

Perhaps your new teacher noticed something that was less than optimal with your tonguing, prompting his/her suggestion to use the tip of the reed, as most players do. If that is the case, stick with it. Your tone quality and all will improve as you learn to reconfigure your oral cavity.
