I am a flying instructor and hold a FATPL/IR.
I have never instructed anyone to land one wheel first and disagree that you are supposed to, however should this suit Lasiorhinus that is fine.
I do not know how long your runway is however, when I have a student with this problem I perform a very low app and go round. I hold the aircraft off the ground at just a few feet and then get the student to continue for the runway lenght about 1 mile. This has always sorted the problem out. the same can be done in a crosswind to keep the plane over the centre line. hard work a good lesson and great fun.
It does all just click, make sure above all else that you enjoy yourself as that is what it is all about. This is paramount with my students.
