There are several things to consider here:
1. There should only be one instructor on the mat.
2. If the other person is a black belt and you are a beginner then the feed back could be good for your growth.
3. Some people have a tendency to correct others even when it is inappropriate. They often don't mean anything by it-they just may be teachers by disposition.
4. Were they doing the technique like your instructor showed or were they modifying it based on their prior training? If the former then perhaps their feed back would be beneficial. It the latter, then that is a problem. That one instructor on the mat thing.
5. Are you sensitive to others correcting you?
6. How good are you at modeling what the instructor showed vs the other person?
