Round out ok mostly, but I tend to over correct. Ie, pull back to hard, ballon, then pitch down. I am being to hard on the elevator.
The transition from approach glide slope to landing attitude is not a single movement, it's a gradual application of back stick (or yoke) as required to flatten the approach path until holding off (hopefully) a few inches above the runway while the speed bleeds off until you chirp onto the mains.

Don't think of a sharp change of angle in the flare, just do enough to avoid hitting the ground (for as long as possible)! Lots of little adjustments, rather than a few big ones.
