That is reassuring to hear.
Despite my disagreement with your method, I respect you enough to at least offer my honesty.
As stated, most students require ego massage; which is not in the least bit conducive for progress.
Yes you can get this to a standard, however you must also consider, your highest standard at this point in time is limited by your ability to understand the score; that being Chopin's work, or perhaps as previously stated the detail and nuance within it.
To think otherwise is arogance; alas, I cannot convince you. I have said enough on this matter and will only lend my ear as a musician.

Teddy, thank you for posting the video recording. It is good to hear that you have decided to study with a teacher. It is evident you have accomplished a lot, and a teacher will help direct your learning.
A few items:
The next time you do a video recording, place the camera horizontal. If you notice on Youtube the huge black bars on the sides, by shooting the video vertically there is a lot of unused space. Shoot horizontally and you will make better use of the screen space. Vertical video might look ok on a phone, but once you start viewing on computer/tv screens you can see why it is preferable to shoot horizontal.
Regarding difficult places in the music: practice backwards. Don't always run the piece linearly from beginning to end. If the coda brings you greater difficulty, practice the coda first. After doing that, add a few measures of music before the coda to catch the transition. Following that, add a few measures before the section you just practiced, and so on.
For example:
Say you were dealing with sections of a piece that went like this:
1, 2, 3, 4
Practice this first:
4
Then do this
3, 4
Then this:
2, 3, 4
Then put it together:
1, 2, 3, 4
