Daniel Jung, born in Remscheid in 1981, lives in Cologne. His passion for education began early: After graduating from high school in 2001, he studied mathematics and physical education, while also founding a local tutoring company and a tennis school. For over 20 years, he has been combining teaching, pedagogy, and innovation—with a clear focus on digital learning and teaching.
In 2011, he launched his YouTube channel “Mathe by Daniel Jung,” which became a milestone: Over 3,000 concise explanatory videos have helped an entire generation learn math online. With more than 1 million subscribers and over 400 million views, he has helped millions of high school students, college students, and professionals overcome their fear of math and understand complex concepts. His “Nugget Learning” method—short, easy-to-understand units—revolutionized access to education and made learning location-independent and personalized.
His expertise in digital learning and teaching is evident in numerous projects: In 2012, he launched his own learning portal, and in 2015, he co-founded StudyHelp GmbH to develop innovative workbooks and digital resources. In 2018, he launched mathefragen.de, a community for collaborative problem-solving. This was followed in 2020 by the founding of Daniel Jung Media GmbH, which focuses on consulting, content, and partnerships. Since 2021, he has been hosting the podcast “Daniel Jung lädt ein,” in which he discusses topics with experts from the fields of education, politics, and business.

Daniel Jung Inside: Impressions from My Eventful Educational Journey.
While my projects are primarily focused on fighting for educational equity in Germany, we shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that every child in this country is provided with a basic education. There are countries where learning to read, write, and do arithmetic is by no means a given. Since I care not only about education in Germany but also about equitable education for every child in the world, I have decided to donate a portion of the proceeds to Young Bafana, a nonprofit NGO based in Cape Town. Since 2010, Young Bafana has been supporting disadvantaged children and youth from the local townships in and around South Africa’s capital through holistic soccer and educational programs. True to the motto, “Education first, soccer second,” Young Bafana focuses on providing a basic education and instilling essential social values, while off the classroom, it teaches lessons in team spirit, perseverance, and the joy of sports.
