About Miguel Alfonso
Psychology and Counselling Background to Support Learning
Miguel Alfonso is currently studying a Master of Counselling, building on a Psychology degree that explored how people think, learn, and stay motivated. This tutor understands how anxiety, confidence, and mindset affect school performance and brings practical strategies to help students manage stress and stay focused. He is especially skilled at active listening and asking the right questions, so he can quickly identify where a student is getting stuck and adjust explanations to suit their learning style.
Experienced in Guiding Young People and Leading Teams
Miguel has led a student gaming team, where he scheduled practice sessions, reviewed performance data, and held onetoone consultations to help players improve. He also helped run large student orientation programmes, organising logistics for hundreds of volunteers and leading training and teambuilding activities. These roles have given him strong mentoring skills and the ability to keep groups engaged and on track, which he now applies to keeping tutoring sessions structured, clear, and enjoyable.
Confident Communicator Who Makes Learning Engaging
This tutor is a confident public speaker and has regularly hosted student events, writing scripts and interacting with live audiences. He uses these skills to explain tricky ideas step by step, check understanding with simple questions, and keep sessions interactive rather than lecturestyle. Miguel is comfortable using digital tools, from online whiteboards to shared documents, and can create simple practice materials tailored to each student. Parents can expect organised lessons, clear communication, and a calm, encouraging presence.
