Simple step instructions are always the best methods to follow because a student can easily be overwhelmed with too much on their mind, as opposed to seasoned pilots referring to the steps as second nature.

One day an older guy walked up to me and said "On your last turn, cut the throttle, in the turn the plane will slow down to landing speed. Line up to the runway, wings level, plane sinking, and the ideal landing is to gradually give it more up elevator while maintaining your rate of descent, until you have full up elevator right at touch down."
