Good plan. Remember you are the client, the teacher is performing a service for you.
Like hiring an architect when you want to build a house - you obviously hire him for his professional skills and qualifications, but you don't let him build the house he likes. You commission him to design the house you want. You might well ask him for some ideas if your own plan is a little hazy (you trust his expertise); but the end product is to suit you, not him.
Too many guitar students treat teachers like teachers at school, where they have authority and you do what they say, follow their regime whether you like it (or understand it) or not. Sad to say, some guitar teachers behave like that too...
