Why does the car jerk when I change gears?

Your car will jerk if the RPMs don't immediately match up with the speed your car is going at the new gear. In order to avoid the jerking, you must create the smoothest transition between the torque of the engine to your wheels. Shifting from first to second gear is the most susceptible to that telltale jerk.

Should I accelerate before releasing clutch?

Yes, you should press acceleration before clutch out. Many people say they do it at the same time, but actually you press the gas a little before than clutch out. Especially when you have engine with low torque at low rpm. When you pass friction point and car starts moving, you will hold a clutch pedal for a moment.
