We are hearing only one perspective here. It's quite likely the teacher would be very surprised by the description of events. Whether she's a sweetie-pie or a sweat-shop slave driver, she might be totally unaware of how you perceive and receive her delivery.

there are too many unanswered (and unanswerable) questions for any of us to give you any reliable feedback. for instance ...
is she actually mean or are you actually insecure and overly sensitive?
is she merely straightforward in order to not waste the time you are paying for?
do you want to be spoonfed and coddled vs taught?
or is she, in fact, an imperious dragon who chose the wrong profession?

we can't know.

have a calm, factual, heart-to-heart discussion with her.
provide clear, accurate examples of the things that bother you.
give her a fair chance to meet you on common, satisfying ground.
