A test that seems to work for me and articulation is can I play a note, with no tongue at all, and have it come from nothing to full sound without break or extreme change in tone/timbre. I feel like on every note I can play that way (where it's impossible to tell where the note started from) I have control over my tongue on these note. The notes that I can only start with a hard attack (much like a glottal in singing) are notes that I have no control over the tongue on.
In truth, tonguing is harder for me on extreme registers on sax or flute. I feel the clarinet back pressure helps.
It may be time to consult another teacher, and maybe try some new equipment.
