Information about Itxaso
I am a special needs teacher from the Basque Country (Spain). I`ve worked as a private tutor for 8 years, teaching mainly maths, physics and languages. I love teaching and I always try to put myself in my pupils position to understand what`s going on on their minds, and to be able to help appropriately.
I like playing games and making maths look fun, because they can be! I am very calm and patient, and I can find multiple ways for explaining the same thing. I work with colours and visual resources to make the learning meaningful and I help with memory techniques.
Availability: Weekdays from 4pm and weekends.
Willing to travel: 15 miles
Experience: I`ve worked as a private tutor for 8 years, teaching mainly maths, physics and languages. Ive been a maths teacher on a high school with pupils with challenging behaviour. I learnt a lot about teaching those who do not like maths.
I have experience working with children with special needs and I know how to addapt to pupils with ADHD, autism and learning difficulties.

Feedback For Itxaso (2)

I found Itxaso (pronounced "itasha") very understanding and accommodating, given the desperate situation we were in - my son got a 2 in Maths in his mocks, but wants to go to sixth form and so needs a 4, and it is only a few weeks before his exams and he is panicking because he has lost all confidence in himself and his revision. Itxaso was wonderfully calm and relaxed about the process and kept it all very clear and simple: going over past questions and papers together and giving them as revision, so then she could go through his answers with him in minute detail so he could see what was needed, where he went right/wrong so what was needed was explained, presented & reinforced. When there was something he wasn`t grasping she would spend time identifying his difficulty and then finding ways to explain it in a way that made sense.
As a consequence he was massively more confident and has felt he did relatively well on at least 2 of the 3 papers. I certainly feel it has given him a fighting chance, and look forward to being able to post the result on this site. Even if he doesn`t get that vital 4, I would still be recommending Itxaso for any student, but especially those for whom maths is a struggle, as her approach is gentle but clear.

I wanted some translation, then voiceover reading of the translated scri pt - and she did a superb job of both. Good to work with also.
