Jonathan De Lange

I am a native English speaker, but more than that, a storyteller. It's this combination that I believe sets me apart.

A lifelong love of English and narrative has opened doors I never anticipated. Growing up surrounded by literature shaped not only how I think, but how I explain and teach. Both my parents are published English authors, and my grandfather was an English professor.language has always been the fabric of my family.

I graduated in the top 20% of my class in English, and while I went on to study Film Production, it was scriptwriting that captured me most. Crafting stories with precision and intention gave me a deep, practical command of the language that textbooks alone can't teach.

My teaching experience includes coaching German working professionals on Business English for a HR firm, as well as tutoring middle school students. My approach blends dynamic, enthusiastic lessons with patient, structured grammar instruction.I want every student to feel both challenged and supported.

My German currently sits at a strong B2 level, which I find genuinely useful in the classroom. Being able to bridge the gap between English and German helps me anticipate where students struggle and explain concepts in a way that truly lands. While I understand that both these languages differ, in many ways they are very similar.

I am passionate about making English feel accessible and alive, not like a subject to endure. I look forward to bringing my patience, enthusiasm, and love for the language into every lesson.
