Either method works well, for the private pilot using power to control ROD, and attitude to control speed, works very well if taught properly.
Point and power works well and its favoured by the RAF basically because their pilots will find point and power useful, as they go onto larger faster aircraft.
Stick with the method you originally started.

Either method isnt the problem, the OP has a problems with landings-that the bit that happens after the approach, the bit most instructors seem to struggle with being able to explain.

have some fun!!!
I posted this on a previous thread,
Although light hearted I have actually used it as a brief a few times to great success.
You need to be spot on with your trim and at the right speed.
If you could please tell us your aircraft type and what speed you are flying the approach at. And also if you are require to hold the 3deg PAPI's.
Then do as it says below, have a laugh get rid of of the built up tension. Most aircraft land in spite of the students miss handling. The trick is to fly it less not more.

Your proberly missing the vital phrase.
First of all get the instructor to show you the landing picture.
As you fly down the approach make sure your trimmed.
As the runway appears to starts moving towards you pitch the nose up to the straight and level attitude.
As the runway sides start coming up towards you pitch to the previously demonstrated picture while putting the power to idle. Waggle the rudder pedals so the instructor thinks your actually doing something with them.
Hold the attitude. Now this is the important bit.
In a loud clear voice say "get down you whore"
Once the aircraft has done as its told hold the same picture by increasing back pressure then lower the nose gently to the runway while continuing to pretend you know what your doing with the rudder.
Jobs a goodun.
PS ladys can substitute bastard instead of whore
PPS this method works up to 10 tons in my experience
