Information About Ritvik:

Personal Description:

I am a second year Classics student at UCL, and the Benn Morris Scholar for Classics at Charterhouse School as well as the winner of the Palamountain Prize for Classics. I have a huge passion for reading , creative writing and history, and I'm actually in the process of writing my own novel. I have done Latin and Greek for 10 years, achieving 9's in my GCSE's and A*'s in multiple A-levels, so I am more than equipped to teach these subjects at the highest level. I also possess a deep interest of Roman history and Greek mythology so I can assure any prospective students in Greek or Latin that they will gain a wide knowledge beyond the core subject as well. In terms of creative writing and essay writing and any sort of English or History requirements, I achieved 9s in those subjects, as well as a A* in my EPQ, so teaching these topics would be both a pleasure and something I am capable of.

Teaching Experience:

In terms of teaching experience, I started tutoring more than three years ago now, and many of my students have gone on to achieve excellent results and placements in schools. I am intimately acquainted with the private school entrance exams, having obtained academic scholarships to both Trinity and Whitgift, as well as an academic and Classics scholarship to Charterhouse, one of the most prestigious schools in the country. I have tutored more than 15 children at 11+ level, all of whom went on to achieve placements in grammar schools such as Wallington , Wilson's and Sutton Grammar School. I have tutored many more students at GCSE level for English, who have all gone on to receive 8's and 9's, while learning a lot about essay writing and creative writing that will stand them in good stead at uni level as well. In terms of the more eclectic subjects I teach, along with English, these are my real passions, Greek, Latin and History. I have received students in Latin GCSE who came to me months before the exam on a 3 and they received 9's in the end. In terms of these three subjects, especially at GCSE level, I can almost guarantee that students I tutor in them will receive 9's, thanks to my excellent knowledge of the subject, and my possession of great resources which really helps make these subjects a lot clearer.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to my tutoring is diligent and draws on the three years of tutoring experience I have learned from and the 15 years of experience I have in the English schooling system, which I excelled in at all stages. Although I might seem young for a tutor, I have always found this as a benefit because I am able to connect easier with the students, and as I wrote my exams only a few years ago, I have a more involved and intimate experience of them than older tutors might, able to recognise where exactly students are going wrong based on my own memories. Furthermore, the course has not changed in English, Latin, Greek and History since I wrote my exams at GCSE, so I will be able to share my own methods of success with my pupils. I like to make the learning fun at all levels, from my younger pupils to my older ones, and I already possess experience in teaching all of these different subjects to various age groups, so with my younger students I try to foster a love for reading and regale them more with clever facts and anecdotes, while with my older students I still smoke the subject interesting while teaching them the syllabus in a diligent and thorough manner. I love all of the subjects I teach and I try my best to make my students love them as well, while equipping them with everything they need to excel in their exams, sometimes beyond even their own imagination.
