Lots of great advice here, but theres one word I havent seen used yet.

ATTITUDE.

Flying is a lot about attitude, not yours but the planes. Get to know the ATTITUDE of your plane in approach mode and fly the attitude down. A big tip is also to be really gentle on your stick movements, adjust and hold to see the planes reactions or ATTITUDE. Remember at lower speeds the controls arent as responsive but just as effective.
Learning to use your peripheral vision to SEE the plane and the ground/runway takes time but you will get it.

ATTITUDE, OBSERVATION and ANTICIPATION. These three things will help you in everything in life.
Think about it !
