👩‍🏫 About the Instructor
Hey there! I'm Ms. Jessica, and I'm thrilled to guide you through the fascinating world of physics. My journey from being a web analyst to stepping into the classroom has been quite an adventure. I've always been the curious type, intrigued by how things work, whether it's navigating the digital realm or uncovering the principles of physics that govern our universe. That curiosity? It led me right here, teaching wonderful students like you.

Homeschooling my kids opened my eyes to the wonders (and, sure, the challenges) of learning at home. It taught me how to make lessons stick by actually doing hands-on stuff, not just talking about it.

Besides Outschool, I also teach STEM classes in person at private institutions and nonprofit organizations. This experience has been a fantastic way to meet students from all walks of life and learn that, yup, one size doesn't fit all when it comes to learning. My goal? To ignite that spark of curiosity in you, make you fall in love with learning, and build up your confidence to tackle even the tricky stuff.

So, whether we're building ball launchers, creating marble drop machines, designing rollercoasters, or constructing pull-back cars, I'm here to cheer you on, answer your burning questions, and ensure we have a blast doing it. Ready to dive in and explore the wonders of physics together? Let's do this!
