Chop downard on the knees. This buckles the legs - when you chop down, your hands will automatically slide down to the ankles. If anything, be sure you block the ankles, and drive.
Like I said, you should ask an instructor to demonstrate the double leg tackle - I can go on verbally about this on and on, but until you see it in action, and perform it a couple of times live, will it truly sink in.
Also, this move is hit or miss - if you hit it, fine - if he doesn't go down, THAT'S when you have to transition i.e. to an outside single leg, or put your head to the inside and go for a single wrestling leg, etc. etc. The whole point of this is to make sure you don't get guillotined - you won't get guillotined if you keep your head up and drive your opponent off balance. If one takedown isn't working, don't keep forcing it - switch to another, and keep attacking. Since you're a wrestler now, you'll be drilled on what to look for and certain "takedown combos" that should keep you on the offensive.
Why don't you also work on guillotine escapes, just in case all else fails? At least when you get caught there you'll be able to keep grappling.
