My wife also returned to playing about five years ago after about 25 years since she studied music. She's progressed in leaps and bounds from where she left off, although I'm not sure her teacher is really that great. His thing seems to be giving her something rather advanced for her level to practice, and commenting that he doesn't really expect she can do it, and she comes home grumbling about it, but determined to prove him wrong. I don't think his method is the product of any particular cunning, but it happens to work because of their respective personalities. My point is that a good teacher is a teacher that works for you for whatever reason and conversely, a bad teacher for you is one that doesn't work for you for whatever reason. But I think that any teacher should be reasonably able to explain to you why they have you doing whatever they have you doing if you should ask, and if they can't, then I think that it's rather doubtful that they know what they're doing.
Never be afraid to ask questions and express any doubts to your teacher, because your understanding is an important part of your learning process and their ability to clarify and justify their methods is an important indicator of their competence as teachers.
