Point-and-power is much more easily assimilated by most students. But they must first achieve an initial approach within the 'acceptable limits' of approach angle. This means an accurate base leg to the roll out from the final turn. If, and only if, they can do this consistently you can then move to the "rollout of final turn, wings level, full flap, trim to approach speed - now adjust to aim at touchdown point and concentrate on touchdown point-speed-touchdown point-speed scan" process.

Must be easy if I can teach it!
