Wonder Spark Learning began with a simple yet powerful vision: to make education engaging and memorable for every child. Our founder, Jessica, combined her background in marketing, web analytics, and a passion for childhood development to create a learning environment where students can thrive. With a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing from Walsh College and certificates in Learning, Knowledge, and Human Development from the University of Illinois and Inquiry-Based Learning from UTAustinX, Jessica’s journey has always been driven by the desire to innovate and inspire.
What started as a solo teaching endeavor has now evolved into a dynamic organization, where a team of expert educators collaborates to deliver top-notch STEM and Mandarin Chinese classes. Our teachers bring years of experience, enthusiasm, and specialized knowledge to every lesson, ensuring that students receive high-quality, interactive, and inquiry-based education.

At Wonder Spark Learning, we believe that learning should be active, hands-on, and full of exploration. Our STEM programs combine science, technology, engineering, and art, sparking curiosity and encouraging children to think like young scientists and engineers. From building projects to creative experiments, we help students develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills in an enjoyable and supportive environment.
Our Mandarin Chinese courses are equally engaging, blending language learning with cultural exploration. Using methods inspired by our STEM approach—like inquiry-based activities, digital flashcards, and interactive games—our Mandarin classes build essential communication skills while keeping students motivated and excited to learn.

Parent Love Us!
Wonderful class and teacher! Miss Jessica is sweet, friendly, validating, patient, enthusiastic and supportive! She is an excellent communicator and is very helpful. Mandarin is difficult phonetically for newbies, but she is thoughtful and makes it fun. She is excellent, and we’re signing up for more!

“Highly recommend this course! Both of my kids, ages 10 and 13, thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Jessica's lessons. She is a friendly, engaging, knowledgeable instructor. During the nine week course, I heard them practicing their new vocabulary around the home and explaining the different ways to say certain words. Ms. Jessica provided encouraging feedback as they participated in the classroom. It's easy to get frustrated when learning a new language, but I only heard positives from my kids about this course -- they were even sad when it ended! I also felt that the thirty min lessons three times per week provided enough consistent reinforcement for the students without being overwhelming. Ms. Jessica is excellent at communicating and I appreciated her timely responses when we had questions or requested to watch a recorded lesson that was missed.”
