If you think your examples are good enough, then they're good enough. You don't always have to listen to your teacher, which is what my teacher used to say to us. You are responsible for your own work.

Some points to consider if your examples are good enough are:

1. Are they trite and cliched? (ie no heliocentric and examples that everyone knows)

2. Are they specific enough? General examples are not good.

3. Do you have a variety of examples? (like say you're talking about sense and perception and you give microscope, telescope, binoculars, all of which are the same type is also not good)

4. Do you have many examples? It's not good if your entire essay only has 2 examples. If you're out of words, 1 tip is to use glancing reference, like you can say for example, x, y and z all prove this point but you'll elaborate on x.

5. Are your examples relevant to the topic?

6. Are your examples real life examples? No hypothetical examples.

7. Is there any huge flaw with you choosing that example? Choosing an example which is highly flawed just so you have a counterclaim is a big no.

As for introduction, to each their own I suppose. In my intro, I only defined the key terms and then talked about the central idea of my essay, so that examiners know what to expect.
