About Ridwan
I hold a First-Class BA in Classical Studies from Royal Holloway, University of London, where I developed a passion for teaching through tutoring my peers in Ancient Greek, Classical Latin, and Classical Literature. This experience not only helped them improve their academic performance but also strengthened my ability to explain complex concepts clearly and effectively. At the start of my undergraduate studies, I faced challenging extenuating circumstances that required me to work diligently to refine my academic skills. This dedication paid off, as I went on to achieve full marks in all my final-year Ancient Greek assessments and received awards for excellence in Latin and Ancient Philosophy. Since graduating, I have expanded my teaching abilities by completing a creative writing course, gaining international classroom experience teaching English, and earning a 168-hour TEFL certification. These experiences have honed my skills in communication, adaptability, and motivating students from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds.

Ancient Greek stands apart from modern language subjects, as it requires a special focus on the written and reading elements of the language. Consequently, mastering translation is the key to excelling in the subject. My lessons are designed to strengthen these foundational skills for OCR GCSE students through interactive learning with original Greek text excerpts, exam techniques, past-paper practice, and memorisation exercises. Each lesson typically lasts 60 minutes but can be adjusted to fit the student’s schedule and preferences. A typical session begins with a warm-up review of previously learned material, followed by structured teaching aligned with the syllabus. This is complemented by applied practice through exercises and translations, and the lesson concludes with a Q&A or recap to consolidate learning. My Qualifications: • Over two years of experience tutoring university peers in Ancient Greek and academic writing. • First-Class BA in Classical Studies (final year average: 78). • Full marks in university final-year Greek studies. • Department award for a dissertation exploring eudaimonia in Ancient Greek literature, focusing on linguistic influences. • TEFL certification, which has honed my ability to teach complex language concepts.
