Don't eck on him for learning sideways aerials, it's not like they're fucking poison or something.
Shantai, you're not digging into your jump at all. Make sure you bend your first leg so you can get enough power behind it. As you bend your first leg, lower your torso to become horizontal, as this will help open up the side of your body so you can get more lift with your second leg, and also lowers your core height so your legs can travel over it. Also, if you're going to learn it sideways-stylee, don't learn it with a run or a hop step, there's no reason you'd need to use a run-up, and it looks awkward as hell.

Aerials aren't hard, you need only basic strength and flexibility to do them. And since when did being American matter?

You need to do 3 things. All are of equal importance:

Drive harder with the base leg- push your self into the air
Throw the first leg hard- pull your self into the air
Lift your chest, dont throw your left arm down.
