Behind every student who successfully enters their dream university, there stands a dedicated teacher who guided them through moments of self-doubt.

Mr. Miranda, without a doubt, has been that guiding force in my journey. The education I received from him goes far beyond mere words on paper; his unwavering commitment and passion for the profession transcend everything. 

 An inspiration in every sense, Mr. Miranda was one of those exceptional educators who ignited my love for science.

His enthusiasm was contagious, and his teaching style made complex subjects come alive with clarity and excitement.

I owe my strong foundation in mathematics and physics to his exceptional teaching, but it doesn't stop there. Mr. Miranda supported me every step of the way, empowering me to excel in all areas of study. His dedication to his students is unwavering, and it's safe to say that my overall academic success can be attributed to his constant guidance.

 I am honored to contribute with this testament of his impact on my academic journey, and I'm certain that his legacy will continue to shape countless success stories for years to come.

Looking back on my high school years, I cannot emphasize enough the impact your teaching methods had on my academic and personal growth. Your classes were engaging experiences rather than just lectures and your ability to break down complex concepts, along with your humour (always present :)) , made it an unforgettable journey.

No doubt that your genuine passion for teaching, in addition to your technical skills, will have a positive impact on the lives of the students who decide to follow you on this journey, as it most certainly had on me!

Thank you for always believing in your students and helping us achieve our goals.

I had the pleasure and privilege to have Mr. Miranda as my A-level physics teacher during my time at the Braga International School. Great teacher experience, loads of fun, did great in my exams and arrived to college prepared.

Hi Mr. Miranda,

Hope you are well.

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for everything you did during my IGCSE and A-Levels physics classes. Your teaching was instrumental in helping me achieve the grades I needed to get into the University of Manchester for my Engineering studies.

The concepts I learned from you in school still come up in my work as a Site Manager at a Data Center in Iceland. Your teaching has made a lasting impact on my life and career.

Thanks again for all your support.

Sincerely,

Pratik

Hi, I am Margarida, and I had the amazing opportunity to be one of Mr. Miranda students for both physics and maths. Physics was never easy for me, and to be honest, I was never a fan, but that didn’t stop me from getting an A* in IGSCE, and A (86%) in the AS exam this June. When I think about it, I have Mr. Miranda to thank for it, because even when I didn’t believe in my ability to understand physics in general, convinced that my brain just couldn’t cope with it, he believed in me and he pushed me to my very best, whether by explaining a concept for, like, the 10th time, all in different ways, until he knew that I knew, by testing me on it, or ensuring we understood everything to the last detail, by using his organizational skills, from planning every lesson and telling us ahead what we would be learning, to the notes he shared with us, to the way class rolled out, to the amount of learning material we had available to be able to consolidate certain topics we struggled more with. Back when I was studying for my exams, I sent SOOOOOOO many past paper questions to Mr. Miranda. He wouldn’t just give me the straightforward answer that everyone can find online or on YouTube, he would explain what the question is assessing you on, so that when a question on that topic would pop up again, I would be at ease. Ease is the word that I want to reinforce here, because it was how I felt when I was solving my physics exam paper in June, as I felt like I was more prepared than I ever imagined myself to be. 

The online opinions and thoughts about the Pure maths paper for June 2023, consider it was the worst in the recent past. There were even petitions with thousands of signatures to cancel it and YouTube videos on how awful it was. Despite that, I was still able to get an A. While I was doing it and thinking this was the worst paper I had ever done, I reminded myself of what Mr. Miranda always told me: to calm down and work my way around the problems, because I had learnt all contents properly and I had practiced enough with them all.

Being Mr. Miranda's student was something I was very grateful for and appreciative of. He finds a way to help everyone, in every way that he can.

This website and platform give you the opportunity that many didn’t, which is to have Mr. Miranda as your teacher, so you too can succeed and get those As and A*s. Just trust Mr. Miranda like I did and, believe me, you will be getting that acceptance letter to your dream university!

Many people go through school and university without feeling inspired, or even truly cared about by a teacher. Many students simply think that they are "just another one", and that has certainly been the case for me in many of the classes I took throughout my life. However, the reason behind this isn't because those teachers were bad or uninspiring, it simply was because I had been lucky enough to experience for several years what it means to be taught by a truly inspiring teacher like Mr. Miranda is. The enthusiasm that he felt when sharing his knowledge added to the way that he was able to make the most complex of topics seem simple made it very enjoyable to be his student. Not only did he inspire me but he also made it possible for me to apply and be accepted in the best aerospace engineering university in Europe. I am sure that this wouldn't have been attainable without all the effort, hard work and dedication that Mr. Miranda put into his classes and in helping me become who I am today, both academically and as a human being. In total, I was fortunate enough to be his student for 5 years and I couldn't be more grateful for it. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher and, just as he helped me achieve what I have, I am more than certain that he can help many others achieve their goals and make their future look much brighter. Thank you, Mr Miranda, for everything. You have truly made a difference in my life, and I know you continue doing the same for many many others just like me.
