It could be either, or it could be beside the bank, too.

'Opposite' will do the finest.

It's easy to find my house, it's near the bank.

My teacher say that it's "opposite" because " near" isn't clear, so we can't identify this house
Is it right ?

Yes, 'near' needs further definition in order to locate the house. Opposite is a more precise location if that was what was asked for though opposite could also be more than one house.
