If your having a lot of trouble and are getting frustrated I would suggest to your instructor that you take break from practicing landings non stop (if thats what he has you doing) for a day or two. Sometimes if your getting really frustrated with landings the more you try them the worse they get.

Try not to think about the process of landing so much, if you think about things so mechanically sometimes you mess up. Watch airspeed, set up properly, don't correct for wind too far out, closer to the runway eyes outside periodically checking airspeed, start using the rudder to make sure your lined up straight, when your over the runway look straight down the runway and start to slowly add back pressure. Remember the go around is your friend if its not going as planned. It also might be good if you went up with another instructor to see if he can give you any other advice.
