The trick is the following: Allways have some kind of rate of descent and look to the horizon and not right in front of the plane.

If you arest the ROD before touchdown you'll do a baloon and do what's popularily known as a runway strike. As long as you constantly come closer to the tarmac, you're doing fine.

And by looking further away, you're reducing the angle of your flightpath which will in turn generate a rather low ROD and thus the landing will be acceptable.

Other than this, you need to get a feeling of where your wheels are. This might take som time. I know I'm still struggling after 300 hrs on type, occasionaly arriving with grace...
