I could help the student get over that learning plateau by changing my method of teaching landings. I have to consider that it may be my fault that the student is struggling. If after my different approaches don't work, I would have a talk with my student asking what they think the reason for their struggling is. I could see if they are having different issues outside of flying that could be affecting their performance.
If after all this, they are still struggling, I would suggest that the student take a small break (a couple weeks or so) from flying to freshen up and see if they can do better once they return. I would make it known to the supervisor at this point but not ask them to be involved yet.
Once they return, if my student is still really struggling with landings, I would suggest that they talk with my supervisor about their progress. I may give them one more chance after this before I have that "talk" with them. I may also suggest that they switch instructors to see if that helps with their performance.
