Isn't your instructor teaching you this stuff?

The amount of up elevator you use to fly a bit slower on the base leg and approach can be as little as 1mm movement at the top of the elevator stick so don't get too enthusiastic and pull hard back! The fuz should be level or slightly nose down. Only nose up in the last few seconds. Also beware of "chopping" the power, make small gradual reductions in plenty of time then there is no sudden nose drop to cope with. Ideally you should not be making the approach at idle but a couple of clicks or so above idle.
