A Good Tutor Knows the Subject. An Excellent Tutor Knows How to Teach It.
When families set out to find a tutor, most discover the same problem: plenty of people know Business Studies, but far fewer know how to turn that subject knowledge into higher marks. Many students understand the theory yet struggle to apply the content to an unfamiliar case study, build a chain of analysis or reach a convincing judgement. That’s where marks are lost, and it’s rarely fixed by more reading.
At Business Tutor, every tutor is a qualified teacher with a minimum of a Business degree, a PGCE or PGDE, QTS and at least two years’ experience teaching in state schools. Our team brings over 50 years’ combined classroom experience, including a Head of Department at a London school and an exam board examiner. That combination of extensive experience and specific experience of assessment is what makes our tutoring sessions different.
Every tutor holds, as a minimum
- A Business degree
- A PGCE or PGDE
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
- At least two years’ experience teaching in state schools

What Your Child Gets, and Why It Matters
All our teaching is built on a proven five-step framework. Here’s what each part involves, and what it means for your child’s results.
01
Knowledge acquisition
Confidence from day oneYour tutor teaches each topic in a clear, structured manner, cutting out the filler found in many classroom lessons.
The benefit: students build secure foundations quickly, so nothing feels overwhelming.
AO1 Knowledge & Understanding02
Deepen understanding
Answers that go beyond the textbookThrough tactical questioning and interesting, interactive case studies, your tutor tests every explanation until it truly makes sense.
The benefit: your child can handle unfamiliar questions instead of relying on memorised answers.
AO1 Knowledge & Understanding03
Master ‘Application’
Marks that most students missWe teach students to link every point to the business in the case study.
The benefit: answers stop sounding generic and start earning the marks examiners reward.
AO2 Application04
Analyse relevantly
Clear chains of reasoningStudents learn to develop logical, connected arguments rather than lists of points.
The benefit: longer answers become focused, fluent and far easier to mark highly.
AO3 Analysis05
Evaluate decisively
The skills that unlock top gradesWe show students how to weigh up arguments and reach a supported judgement.
The benefit: the highest-scoring questions become an opportunity rather than a worry.
AO4 Evaluation+
Homework and assignments
Support between lessonsWe help with school homework, coursework-style assignments and revision, and set purposeful practice questions to consolidate learning.
The benefit: progress continues all week, not just for one hour.
A Personalised Plan, Not a One-Size-Fits-All Course
No two students are the same, so we tailor every plan to the individual. We start by analysing test results, mock papers and past exam papers to identify knowledge gaps, then build a personalised learning plan around your child’s target and any educational needs.
Whether your child is in Year 12 starting the course, preparing for their final exams, or studying GCSE Business, we build a schedule that works for your family.
- Online, one-to-one lessons on Google Meet, so there’s no travelling to in-person sessions
- Flexible lesson times to fit around school, sport and family life, from one lesson a week to as many as five
- Shared Google Docs containing all lesson content, so students can organise their notes and revise from a complete record of the course
- Live marking and verbal feedback, with improvements highlighted in a different colour so progress is visible
- Exam technique in almost every lesson, using real exam questions
