My name is Dhananjay Talwar, I am a full-time tutor and the Director of the tutoring agency Threshold Education.

I have an MA in French and Italian from the University of Cambridge,graduating in 2015.

I have tutored since then. I have taught French to several hundred students over the last 8 years, helping hundreds of students to achieve their target grade in French GCSE and iGCSE.

I have very thorough knowledge of the syllabus and requirements for all French GCSE and iGCSE exam boards.

This course consists of 8 x 1 hour sessions on Zoom. The lessons, as outlined above, will cover all aspects of French GCSE and iGCSE (for allexam boards). After each session, the replay will be sent to the students.

After each week, I will also send all parents/guardians the homework for that week. Before the following session, parents/guardians will send the student’s completed homework to me and I will mark it and send it back.

All sessions will be group sessions on Zoom. Each one will be recorded and sent to all the parents and students enrolled in the course, so they can benefit fully even if they are not able to make all the live sessions!

This course is suitable for students taking French GCSE and iGCSE. Given the focus on exam technique, it is particularly aimed at students who will sit the exams in the summer of 2025. However, French GCSE/iGCSE students in Year 10 and Year 9 will also very much benefit from the course.

All the materials used in this course will be taken from past French GCSE/iGCSE papers.

All advice given will also be based on French GCSE past papers (across different exam boards) and my considerable experience tutoring French GCSE and iGCSE.

All the Zoom sessions will be recorded, with the recordings sent to all students and parents/guardians shortly afterwards, which means that it is certainly not essential to attend all the live classes, though it is recommended if possible.

The student will still be able to benefit significantly even if they cannot attend the live sessions.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of exams, no tutor can make guarantees of students achieving a particular grade.

However, I am confident that, if the student applies themselves, particularly in the areas of exam technique that we will focus on, the student can see a boost in their grades and will maximise their potential in French GCSE/iGCSE.

In many ways!! I have FREE resources and a FREE Facebook group where I regularly post tips and masterclasses on French GCSE/iGCSE.

I also post daily French GCSE/iGCSE advice on social media, while I offer group and 1:1 classes and often specialist courses too.

You’ll find the clickable links further down on this page.

The total investment for the course is a one-off fee of £80. This works out at just £10 per session and is 1/8 of my standard hourly rate for 1 to 1 lessons.

Full payment must be made in advance before the start date of the course.

As there are limited places available on the course, once the student has secured their place on the course, there is a no-refund policy.

Putting it simply, for each student you refer who signs up for this course, you can earn £25 as a Referral Fee!

My aim is very much to help as many students as possible so please do refer as many other students as you can!
