You are paying your teacher to help you make corrections. Now find someone to go to tell you you are doing a good job.
Your teacher is just a person. A human being who may or may not notice what you do right for any number of reasons.
Find other people you care about and talk to them about how you are doing. Work against yourself and worry about how the moves feel to you. You'll have other teachers but as far as who the real judge of your progress is...it's you. Only you know if you are really progressing to the extent of your abilities.
Change who you go to for your kudos, your teacher can't be the only person in the world who knows about your craft.
