Lots of useful advice in this thread, but what it all comes down to, in summary, is that the new chum needs something (?) to provide a bit of guidance so he/she doesn't bend the bird on the first landing. Then after some time, he/she will use the benefit of exposure and thinking about what has been going on to modify that initial "guidance" to produce something acceptable for his/her routine landings. Progressively, things will resolve for the thinking pilot and the "quality" (however you might like to define that) will improve. For some, this happens relatively quickly, for others it takes a bit longer. For some, I guess, it only reaches a plateau sufficient not to frighten the passengers too much but still get a pass grade on recurrent checks.
Some pilots are exceptional in their final approach and touchdown. I well recall a lovely chap, Standish Brooke, who is no longer with us, on the 727-200. He would drive it down to the aiming point and then, just as any rational person would expect a crash, the aircraft just, sort of, ran along the runway. In the time I flew with him, his worst landing was near perfect, and his best, absolutely perfect. Yet, over overnight beers, he couldn't quite explain how he did it. Whatever he did just, sort of, worked. Certainly, I couldn't figure out what his technique sequence was in any detail. Me ? All my initial 727 flying was on the -200 and the company's "check and roll" guidance just didn't cut the mustard - my landings were the stuff of not bothering to write home to mother about. Then, I flew a couple of months on a -100 freighter. All of a sudden, the landing became little different to landing a 172 and my problems on the -200 disappeared relatively rapidly once I returned to passenger flying.
My suggestion is not to sweat it too much in the early days, either learning to fly, or transitioning to a new Type. Apply the advised guidance until you have enough landings to modify and refine that guidance to come up with a technique which works consistently and reliably for you.
At day's end, it's just another FAR 25 style aeroplane ....
