The one thing that most of us found really difficult is landing,estimating how far you are from the runway before the roundout and touchdown.
I was told imagine the height of a first floor bedroom window,a double decker bus etc but still found it very difficult to judge my height above the runway.
Then someone told me to get into the cockpit on a quiet day,and while on the ground spend some time just looking around ,see how the grass looks ,how the tarmac appears and the height of hangars,buildings around you etc.
That cracked it for me, and hopefully maybe some help for you.
Good luck.
