It is acceptable to stop at the beginning of a song to reset the tempo. Be polite, take the blame, move over to the accompanist, hum a couple bars at the tempo that you want, and restart. You may want to read, “The Enraged Accompanist’s Guide to the Perfect Audition” by Andrew Gerle. He has a little video about his approach on youTube which also shows what a good coach looks like.
