Level-offs: llapt
A lot of students level off below their target airspeed and set power, probably because someone taught them to "pitch, power, trim," which they then did very rapidly. As the aircraft accelerates, the speed-trim couple on the tail results in a slight climb. Instead of doing that, I recommend breaking it into 5 discrete steps:
Lead the level-off by climb rate / 10.
Level at your target altitude.
Accelerate to your target speed.
Power back as you approach target speed to the target power setting to hold that speed.
Trim to hold altitude and speed.
Lean promptly if you're going to be there for any amount of time.
Explicitly following all 5 steps should help get those level-offs dialed in better.
