My instructor doesn't like to fly on windy days, especially with crosswinds. In the morning, it is usually not windy around 6:30 AM, but of course no one is awake. Unfortunately it has been windy in all times of the day.
I hope you mean on REALLY windy days and not a NORMAL windy day. He should take you up on windy days even if you don't get to land. I'm talking 10 to 15 mph not 20 mph. Unless your field is really tricky on the approach, is subject to bad gusts, or some other factor, your instructor should be able to handle the landings.
