Are the differences very important in the early stages of learning Japanese (I like this, that is a big house, I want to eat, etc.) or just when you get into more advanced stages? I don't really want to be hindered in my speaking ability this early on, but it's not like there are other Japanese professors at my university.

Are you serious? This is just so...unheard-of! Are you saying that you are being taught Kyoto dialect and not "standard Japanese with a Kyoto accent" because your teacher is from Kyoto?
Could you write a couple of sentences that you've been learning? We will be able to tell in a second if it's Kyoto dialect or not.
