Hello,
"such a" plus a noun means "like that" or "to a high degree". It adds emphasis. Examples:
Someone cuts in front of you in traffic. "Have you ever seen such a bad driver?"
Someone tells you an obvious lie. "I have never heard such an obvious lie!"
Someone does something kind and thoughtful. "He is such a kind person!"
Such works the same way, but with mass nouns. Examples:
Such hard work should be rewarded.
I have never heard such nonsense.
Such generosity is unusual.
Hope that helps a bit.
Best,
Martha

Such is to describe an amount as in:
"Did you see his acting he had such dedication" such as is like to make an example : "there are many great musicians in history, people such as Beethoven and Mozart"
