My initial instructor said when flying our tail dragger Aeronca champ to parallel the runway center line with rudders and use the ailerons to control drift. It worked perfectly through 23,000hrs from biplanes to B 767's. Landing on the upwind wheel with tires lined up with centerline works every time. It worked on 80 different aircraft and is so easy to do. Keep things simple.
As far as the final part of the approach/landing is concerned, I couldn't have put it better!
For the most part of the approach, fly whatever heading maintains the centreline, using the rudder to prevent yaw and the ailerons to keep the wings level.
If you need to make a turn, use coordinated aileron and rudder to prevent adverse yaw (maintain balance) as you roll into and out of the turn.

Is your instructor a different nationality and having difficulty explaining things in your language? If he is, you should find another instructor who speaks your language. If he isn't, you should just find another instructor!
