I think most people find landing the most dificult bit. I was hopeless for ages. Like most things, when you have mastered it (If you ever really master landings) you wonder what all of the fuss was about.
My instructor got me to judge the height during the last 50' by looking out of the side window. It certainly helped me, I was able to judge the flare quite well after that.
7 or 8 lessons isn't that many in the scheme of things, it will come.
Edited for inability to remember simple figures
