After graduating from film school in 2012, Jordy discovered his passion for teaching online and has since focused on creating engaging, hands-on learning experiences. Unlike traditional education, Jordy’s classes emphasize practical skills and creative problem-solving, aiming to deliver an immersive class experience rather than just information.
