Help with vocal coach

This may be a bit long but I’ll try to summarize it. So I have been taking voice lessons on and off for a year now( they’re expensive so I usually take time off to save up to pay for the next couple of months) but I don’t really see much progress.

A little context of what my lessons involve. We do vocal warmups for five minutes, then sing a song and she asks me how it felt, not really about how it sounds (which I really don’t mind because I’d rather sing healthily than hitting the highest note). She does provide guidance on how to hit notes like opening my mouth wider for higher notes and better breathing to avoid tension.

That being said, I do have some issues that I’m trying to understand if they’re my vocal coach or I’m just not well versed with everything that comes with singing. Firstly, I am a baritone (20m) and she said some baritones do not have head voice and that I may be one of them. She doesn’t teach me how to breathe, she makes me wear a band which I’m supposed to feel but I’m still confused. She can sometimes not point out my bad vocal techniques even if I notice them. She also pointed out I sometimes sing in straight tone(I added a video which can somewhat demonstrate that) but I don’t know or haven’t been taught how to lock in on my vibrato.

Am I doing too much and being impatient or should I l look for another voice teacher?
