That he chooses to call Am chord an "A chord" is a huge red flag.

As a longtime guitar teacher I have had a lot of experience getting students whom were taught with terrible technique. I can also tell you that correcting most of those students' techniques took a lot longer and a lot more expensive that if the student went to a good teacher first. I say more expensive because one is paying to start over, hence paying again for what should have been taught the first time.

Calling A-C-E an A chord not only is a terrible mistake it also shows that he doesn't know what the hell he is talking about.

PS - I do know that if I wanted to learn on my wife's piano and I wrote 1-3-5 on the keys I would be singing soprano the next day!
