Well, both involve the manipulation of objects, and both are a form of "kinesis," that is, the ability to move or control something mentally or psychically. The key difference here is that Glynda can manipulate whatever the hell she wants, whereas Pyrrha's is somewhat specialized, in that it only controls magnetic metals [Unless you break magnetic laws with the soda cans from the food fight, which might have been from a completely different metal than the standard aluminum, so].

Both are the definition of personality powers too:

Glynda has a very controlling and strict nature, so her "able to fix anything" fits well. Besides, lets be honest, she looks like a witch whenever she casts her Semblance.

Pyrrha's power was magnetism, the concept of attraction and repulsion between magnetic poles. She effectively attracts people with her popularity and nice demeanor, but still pushes people away because of the arbitrary, "Oh she's too good for YOU," argument we've seen. Yeah...

[Sidenote, manipulation of magnetism is "Molydbkinesis". Unless we just want to say "she moves metal," and that would be "Ferrokinesis."]
