Set up objects to try and hop them. It's better if the object is not very sturdy so that if you don't make it, it will fall over, instead of yourself falling over. Try using 2X4s stactked on top of eachother, that works well.
Practice.
Practice.

Also, just try hopping at slow speeds to work on your technique. Here's a page with a detailed explanation of the steps: https://www.bmxbasics.org/new/bmx0703.html

I've found that you hop higher when you're trying to clear something. For example, I can't hop high up a curb or on flat, but if I'm hopping from flat onto a ledge/bench/whatever, I can do it without issue.

My firends ask me how high I can bunny hop, and it's just over a curb. But I have no problem getting onto benches, ledges and over medians.

I'm the other way 'cause my timing sucks. Can hop like 2 feet if there's nothing around, but if I try and hop a 10" thing I'll hit it with my back wheel half the time because I hopped too late..

There is no such thing as a "j-hop".
