I am retaking a freshman science with a college instructor, she has her BSc and MSc, and has been an instructor for years, as well as a teacher for MCAT prep companies. Would getting a science LOR from her be acceptable? She definitely would be able to say good things about my improvement. Im just not sure how ADCOMs would view it since she hasn't done her PhD yet.

Maybe Goro will see this.

Yes.
 
I see plenty of LORs from TAs, so yeah, it's OK
