Miguel Micallef

Miguel is a teacher of Physics from secondary to university level. Hedgehog was born from the frustration he directly faced with his own students: spending hours correcting homework that seemed perfect, handed in by students who - when faced with the same problem - couldn't do it on their own.

At Hedgehog, he works on pedagogy, solving the same problem for other teachers. He takes an experiment-based and evidence-driven approach, continually making compounding improvements to the Hedgehog platform, ultimately driving better learning outcomes.

During his years of teaching experience, Miguel founded and grew his own tutoring organisation, focused on O-Level and Intermediate Physics tuition. Alongside his teaching work, he specialises in Medical Physics and Radiation Oncology, topics which he lectures at the University of Malta at BSc and Master's level.

Miguel is passionate about the neuroscience and psychology behind high performance, and often finds himself blending this into his work and personal life. He is dedicated to mentoring his students beyond Physics tuition, and when he's not working, he's a dedicated triathlete.
