Being in the UK that means nothing to me.

Try some of the Ida Carroll stuff to start with (check the spelling
of her name though) then if that is too eays, why not move onto a few
fnu pieces... The Bull Steps Out by Norman Hester is rgeat, and then
a few orchestral pieces such as the Overture to The Bartered Bride by
Smetena.

Give me an idea of the stuff you have BEEN doing, and I may be able
to suggest a efw others.

Having said all that try to work WITH your teacher rather than
against him. SHOW him what you can do, but be prepared for him to
tear it to shreds in term of technique.
Good Luck
