We have been really impressed with Miguel’s approach at BigCause which has assessed tutoring needs and put in place just the right tutors given the requirement. There has been great alignment and it has felt like we have received a bespoke service to ensure that the right things are happening at the right time. It is also very evident that he approaches his business and clients with a high level of empathy and care. For anyone looking for solutions in the education space, I would highly recommend Miguel and BigCause. FOLLOW OUR HEART BEAT CHARMAINE LEEK - FACEBOOK Miguel stepped up to the mark. My youngest daughter was worried about her Spanish GCSE, Miguel recommended a fabulous Spanish teacher who actually goes the extra mile. Thank you Miguel and her Tutor, my daughter is so much more confident about her impending Spanish GCSE! FOLLOW OUR HEART BEAT JEREMY STRONG - LINKEDIN As exams were getting ever closer, my daughter was getting increasingly stressed and demoralised about one of her A Level subjects in particular, feeling that she was falling further and further behind and not likely going to achieve the grades she need to get into university. At very short notice, Miguel was able to source an excellent Law tutor who was immediately able to give her one to one tutoring focussing on her problem areas, enabling her to improve her performance immediately. That additional support at late notice not only helped her improve her grades but also hugely improved her confidence and mental wellbeing at such a difficult time.
