I want to help Physics education. What should I do?

Have you considered attending local meetups, where you may run into some like-minded , similarly-motivated people?

I have: but there aren't many open to people of my age, at least none that I'm aware of, and they'd have to not overlap with the school day either...

The timing would still be an issue

They generally ask for proof of age for safety reasons on the sign up (they're big on that here in the UK), and I might be tall but I do look and dress like a teenager :)
(if that's what you're implying?)

Just a bad joke suggesting you pretend to be older.

haha yeah that's what I inferred :)

NO.. No! I really do not mean "online courses". I do mean real courses in classrooms, physical classrooms.

For what it's worth I'd happily take a correspondence course under you!

Mostly math related though.

You got about 10 years to make to make up your mind. I asked Google AI "When does a male human's brain gel?" and here is what it said:

It appears you're using "gel" as a metaphorical term for reaching maturity or completing development.​

Based on current research, the male human brain doesn't fully develop, in terms of reaching complete maturity and efficiency in all areas, until around 25 years of age, or even as late as 30.​

​

Specifically, the prefrontal cortex, responsible for executive functions like decision-making, planning, and impulse control, is one of the last areas to fully mature. While the brain undergoes significant growth and forms numerous neural connections in early childhood, the process of myelination (insulation of nerve fibers for faster transmission) and synaptic pruning (elimination of unused connections for efficiency) continues well into adolescence and early adulthood.​

​

It's important to remember that brain development is a complex and ongoing process influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, environment, experiences, and lifestyle choices.​

My brain gelled at age 26.

Scarily I think that the most of the geniuses did their best work in their early twenties... Not a comforting tought.

Oh, I may have been too quick. Don't know where I picked that up:
