I believe the answer is:

start

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'jump' is the first definition.
(as in starting or jumping in fear)

'surprised in launch?' is the second definition.
'start' can be an answer for 'launch?' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'surprised in' bit.

'when' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for start that I've seen before include "lead" , "Jerk" , "Begin with sudden movement of surprise" , "Begin to recoil?" , "Outset" .)
