milena,
these types of rumors go on everywhere (at least, everywhere i have ever
been). there is either truth to what they say or, it can even originate
from other teachers who do not like the victim of the rumors (or, anything in
between).
whether it is a rumor or not, you have to decide for yourself whether or
not the teacher is doing you any good. if she is, then stay with her until
you find something better.
if, by chance, the observations by your housemates are in earnest, you
have to consider what they say. look at whether or not these students have
improved in ways that you have not. if they have, ask them what was the
difference they made to make the improvements (if they don't know, it
probably just came from practicing more rather than anything earth shattering
their teacher told them).
you are in the world of people training to be professionals where there
are not enough jobs available for those who want them so, it is bound to be a
little 'cutthroat'.
