well, I have another technique that I apply, it works well.
During the final I tell my student to maintain a quite "high" speed, I mean above 1.3 Vstall, for example if 60 knots is the 1.3Vs, I tell my student to fly at 70-75 knots. of course if the runway is not limited...
During the briefing I warn my students it is just for training! after that they will maintain the correct speed of course and I explain them why I do that:
My point: In fact if they fly a little bit faster, they will need to control the nose very smoothly, if not the case, the a/c will start climbing right away.
So they learn to make fractions corrections of the attitude before the touch.
after some landings, I tell them to maintain the correct speed, and they always find the flare easier lol Because the learned how to raise the slowly before.
Other advices I add for the flare:
just raise the nose slowly a little bit below the horizon (natural).
an Important point: NEVER raise the nose too high and being unable to see the runway!! too dangerous, I always tell them, you must to see the runway, the centerline. If you raise too high the nose, you will not know if you are aligned properly or if there is an obstacle on the runway (vehicle, animal etc)...
