I spent the weekend hitting the jumps & table tops of the new routes at Glentress and want to hone my jumping technique better. I'm getting average height (1.5m off the table tops), but want to hit some really good air (>2m+). Any recommendations for good tutorial videos on Youtube? Or any good coaching lessons around ?

Ben cathro’s how to videos on pinkbike (YouTube) maybe helpful. Also if you’re jumping as you say it will come with practice. Compressing and timing the take off is probably what you need to think about.

Agree with Stand Up To The Jump and then just find something to session and practice the timing and weight balance.

Another vote for Cathro. His teaching style really makes sense to me

Elliot heap lives up your way now and coaches, or used to, during his winter months. Top lad and pretty handy on the jumps.

+1 stand up to jump, made more of a difference to my lack of ability, than hundreds of others I've watched

Elliot live up in scotland now, but last weekend I got soaked round rivi with his brother, Lewis who sorted out a load of my riding problems! Had me jumping nicely by the end of it and bunnyhops are now much more consistent.
