When you flare, smoothly reduce power to idle while simultaneously lifting the nose slightly and gradually.

Slow down.

Use flaps.

Slow down.

Just before runway.

Pull back, at stall speed (Just remember, this has to be literally a couple of feet above the runway, not a couple of hundred!).

Then.......

Hope for a soft landing!

If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

Don't forget your spoilers, they re-direct the air to reduce the lift of the wings.
