Stephen Ridley

I am an Oxford graduate with lengthy experience of teaching up to A level,
*Religious Studies,
*Ancient Greek and Latin,
mainly in independent schools - all boys, all girls, mixed intake, dayschool and boarding.
Online lessons or tuition in your own home is the best bet within safeguarding regulations. Teaching classical languages is necessarily book based but verbal discussion is the best vehicle in RS and Philosophy.
It was a recent privilege to teach at Repton Prep school and coach students in Latin for the senior entrance exam. I also have a doctorate in Education with a thesis focusing on master myths, both religious and classical. I would hope that students would be daring in challenging great minds from Plato through to Kierkegaard, whilst gaining a broad overview of the intellectual basis of modern society.
On a personal level I am happily married and have grown-up children and grandchildren who keep me in touch with a rapidly changing world and one which is enriched by a critical knowledge of Religion and an academic examination of issues from Plato to Bentham and the challenges of Hawking, Dawkins and others.
