Stick to it. Everyone's different, and we all have areas of strength and weakness.

"At 20 hours I too was having a nightmare with landings. At 30, they started to tidy up. At 40, I could grease at least 50%."
I'd say he's probably a quicker learner than me at that particular art, and maybe there are different things I've picked up more rapidly than him. In my own case (35 hours into the PPL course, with about 40 hours previous gliding & taildragger experience a couple of decades ago) I've greased exactly *one* landing, out of the 80-odd I've probably now done in the PA-28-161. Yet I never had much trouble landing a glider, or a Chippie, on grass. Mind you, I was younger then
Progress is not always at a continuous rate - you may be closer than you think to suddenly "getting it".
