It seems with tab, you need to know how the song goes to make it work.
Also, I am trying to get better at reading more advanced Standard notation (faster tempo, more notes, chords!! Not just the first 3 books of Mel Bay Modern Guitar Method) I am currently using a jazz/swing book. It has the notation on one row and tab on the other. I find that it can be distracting with the tab directly under the notes, so I wind up getting a strip of paper as wide as the page and covering the tab section so I can focus on the reading of notes.
So, if you know the song and just want to use it to add songs to your repertoire, or start one, then I think it would be good for you since you then will be playing stuff you want to play, be strengthening your fretting hand and building confidence in your playing. Now, if the teacher finds out and gets upset, well, that may be an indicator that, as previously mentioned, he may or may not be the best fit.
Just my 2 cents.
