French GCSE - Aiming High - Please Note Change of Timing

French GCSE - Aiming High - Please Note Change of Timing

by Susannah, 21 Sep 2020

Introducing a new GCSE course for those who are aiming for higher grades in French. Together we can climb that mountain!


GCSE French, done properly, is not easy.  For those who want to achieve the highest grades, move towards fluency and prepare for A level, it is a challenge - it relies on memory, practice, engagement and organisation.  

Ahead Learning is launching a series of weekly classes to be held on Zoom for those aspiring to do their exams in the summer of 2022.

Wednesdays 11.30-12.10 will be about GCSE topics
Thursdays 10.45-11.25 will be based on grammar
Fridays 10.45-11.25 will work on speaking skills

There is no commitment to attend all three classes every week; each session can be booked as an individual class to enable complete flexibility.  For each class, a short (10 minute) preparation task will be set.
