Our Story

From experience to academy

01

How it started

Mas Ridwan Academy was founded in 2025 by Mas Ridwan, a healthcare administration professional based in California. After years working in an internal medicine clinic—from receptionist to office manager—he saw a gap: many Indonesian candidates wanted remote healthcare roles but had no clear path to prepare. He decided to bridge that gap with practical, honest training.

02

Building the team

As the academy grew, Mas Ridwan brought on instructors with complementary expertise. Diana, a registered nurse with over six years of ESL teaching experience and current Medical VA, joined to lead English and MVA instruction. John, a seasoned ESL teacher with over 15,000 lessons taught and a practicing Medical VA in California, also came on board. Together, the team covers healthcare administration, language skills, and real remote work workflows.

03

Our mission today

Today, Mas Ridwan Academy is a small but dedicated team working toward one goal: helping more Indonesian learners build practical skills for Virtual Assistant and Medical Virtual Assistant roles—with clear expectations, real-world context, and no empty promises.

Our hope is that every participant learns useful skills, builds professional habits, and gains the confidence to pursue a remote career step by step—without unrealistic promises.
