Not a very good instructor. There are a things the instructor should have checked to determine what was causing the high impact, and then, depending on what the instructor determined the problem was, several ways to help the student get on target.
At some point in a lesson if a student is having problems making hits or holding groups, I make it a point to take the student's gun, and shoot a group for them while they observe. It demonstrates form, but most of all, it instills confidence in them that the gun shoots to point of aim and that it is accurate. Once they know the gun shoots well, then they realize that the problems arise from something they're doing improperly and they're much more open to advice on how to correct their technique.
It's critical that the instructor understands what kinds of problems shooters, especially new shooters, encounter and how to identify and help correct those problems.
In a fairly short amount of range time, a good instructor should have a non-disabled new shooter who is using a working and properly sighted pistol that's a reasonable fit for the newbie, shooting to point of aim and making reasonable groups at 5-7 yards. If not, then the instructor needs instruction.
