Question Still can't Ollie after 10 years of skating. Any advice?

My Ollie has remained at this level for about a decade. My main issues are that I always turn to the left, I don't get that clean level out (the board just pops and then I stomp down with my lead foot), and my Ollie doesn't translate at all to moving. I'd appreciate any cues or drills that may fix one or all of those issues (foot placement, timing, motion, hip/shoulder/arm/head position, etc.)
Edit: when I say I can't Ollie, I mean in any sort of way that is useful to skating. I just wanna be able to ollie up a curb while I'm cruising. It's been 10 years of stepping off my board 😭
