You don't need ATC to do this. It's nice, but for instance you don't always have it when online.

Get some charts for the airport that you're using. Have a look at the STARs (Standard Terminal Arrival Routes). Learn how to interpret them. It may well look overwhelming at first but its a quick learning curve. There are plenty of very helpful tutorials on Youtube.

The star will give you elevations and paths to the runway from given points (transitions). Speeds depend on A/C weight, wind etc. You need to learn your aircraft specs and have the info readily available...

As Bruce says learn how to fly a proper flight plan. Learn how to use the FMC. Once you can do that and follow SIDs and STARSs as well as understanding your Aircraft's required configurations the level of gratification goes up exponentially.
