I don't think all of what we see her do is telekinesis. I think it's magic. A couple scenes that caught me:

Season 1 Episode 1, she uses a glyph to protect Ruby against Cinder. Cinder stole part of the Fall maiden's power prior to the start of the series. Glynda was already on the rooftop, previously unaware of Ruby- probably looking for Cinder to begin with. The only witnesses are Ruby, Roman, and Cinder.

Season 3 (Episode 11, I think), she magic missiles a group of Grimm. Bright purple, a color of dust that has not been shown (because it likely doesn't exist). No special effect, they just die instantly. The only people around to witness it at that point are her fellow professors.

The rest of what she does can be attributed to telekinesis and dust. If Ozpin was the wizard in a previous life, Glynda may have learned the other two things from him. Any of this may or may not end up being true, but it seems more plausible than "her telekinesis is completely limitless and she only uses it to throw rocks and fix buildings."
