Nadya Ivanova

As a committed private tutor in Animal Science and Veterinary Science, I offer individualized, interesting, and academically based instruction to help students at the GCSE, A-Level, college, and early university levels. My method is centered on developing profound comprehension, real-world application, and self-assurance in important biological and animal-related concepts. 

I approach my tutoring with a solid academic and practical background:

Two years in Sparsholt college in Animal Management.

Two years in Sparsholt University study in Animal Science.
I am able to link theoretical knowledge with practical animal care and management concepts because to this combination of practical experience and scientific instruction.

My lessons always start with initial assessment and goal setting, beginning with informal skills assessment where students are able to outline their goals. After that we create a learning plan! Each session will typically include a warm up review of any previous topics that you have studied. Our lessons will also include core content teaching, where we will be using diagrams, lots of colors, case studies and clear explanations. I prefer to create and structure my own diagrams which include lots of colors to help improve your memory and bring your attention! I also include application tasks in my sessions, which include exam style questions or scenario based problems. Discussion and Q&A is also included to reinforce understanding.

Flexible formats:
My lessons can be delivered through one-to-one online sessions
Structured revision sessions
Help with assignments and project guidance/ presentations
Practical skills such as animal handling, welfare assessments and husbandry.
Exam preparation such as focusing on technique and the content.

Teaching Style & Qualities

I aim to create a supportive, patient, and motivating learning environment. My qualities as a tutor include:

Clear, structured explanations of complex topics.
Adaptability to different learning speeds and styles.
Interactive teaching, using visuals, examples, and real cases.
Encouraging, confidence-building approach.
Practical insight from hands-on experience;
Focus on understanding rather than memorization.
Strong communication with regular progress updates.


My teaching methods include:

Active recall & spaced repetition.
Visual learning through diagrams and flowcharts.
Past-paper practice and exam technique coaching.
Scenario-based learning (common in vet and animal science education).
Breaking large concepts down into simple, digestible parts.

Thank you all for having a little read. I hope to hear from you soon!
