I think it's important to develop the skill of flying an approach cold from just the plate. Printing off plates from the AIP and annotating them is fine in training, but in real life you may find yourself on an approach you weren't expecting. This will take time; pick AERAD or Jepp (does your instructor have a view? Mine preferred AERAD) and use them until you are comfortable.
I'd strongly recommend using MSFS or similar as part of that process. Pick an approach pretty much at random from your AERAD or Jepp booklet, and try it. Give yourself different hold entries, set the cloudbase at minimums, and get on with it. Very very useful for NDB approaches!
