I am a co-founder of Threshold Education and have worked as a professional tutor for five years, teaching a variety of students of different ages and levels. I have used my unique expertise and knowledge of languages to help many students achieve the top grades, particularly at GCSE and A Level.
I have knowledge of the following languages (in addition to English):
French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi (native or near-native);
Mandarin, Russian, Romanian (advanced);
Ancient/Modern Greek, Latin, Hungarian, German (intermediate)
My philosophy is that flexibility is at the absolute core of delivering successful tuition. That, as well as sheer determination to get the student(s) to their objective, including through designing tailor-made plans and entire exam technique guides for particular exam boards, is what has made me a successful tutor. I always seek to make my lessons enjoyable and interactive, and to instil in the student(s) some of the immense passion and enthusiasm I have for my subjects.
"He meticulously prepares each lesson targeting all areas of the curriculum systematically. He also has a very thoughtful & patient manner. He made an across the board positive impact - be it grammar points, introducing good structures to improve the quality of writing & devoting effort to improving her accent. He provided interesting resources to trigger interest in the subject & spent a lot of time on practice papers nearer the examination. Dhananjay is a talented linguist and gifted student academically. He has deep subject knowledge - I would recommend him highly as a tutor.”
