I'm a PPL student and I found the following advice for the final hold-off phase of landing very useful:
"The trick is not to try to land. It's to keep flying for as long as you can six inches above the runway with no power."
As I'm learning to fly in Warriors this has the advantage that if my speed control on the final approach wasn't good, i.e. I was too fast, it becomes very apparent here and really enforces the importance of a good stabilized approach!
I also found Alan Bramsom's book "Make Better Landings" very useful. It's also very entertaining, I like the bit on "Use of brakes" : "1. Never apply the brakes until the nosewheel has lowered to the runway unless you want to see the nosestrut make a sudden, spectacular appearance through the top of the nose."
