A-level Business
A-level Business tuition with case-study depth
Real businesses, real case studies and the kind of applied analysis examiners reward at the top of the mark scheme.
A-level Business is one of the most applied subjects on the curriculum. The mark schemes do not reward theory recital. They reward students who can frame a real business decision, apply two or three theoretical lenses, weigh the trade-offs and reach a defensible judgement.
That is taught best by working through live case studies, picking apart the same financial and operational data the examiners use, and writing model answers under the actual mark scheme.
Most A-level Business students I tutor are aiming for an A* or to lift one to two grades from current performance. Sessions are weekly through the year, with intensive blocks before mocks and final exams.

FAQ
Common questions
-
How long is a typical session?
Online sessions are 30, 60 or 90 minutes. Home visits are 60, 90 or 120 minutes. Most A-level students find 60 minutes a week plus extra around mocks and exams works well.
-
Where does tutoring take place?
Either at the student's home for in-person sessions across south west London, central London and Surrey, or online via video call for students anywhere in the UK and overseas.
-
What is your cancellation and rescheduling policy?
I ask for at least 24 hours' notice to reschedule a session without charge. Less than 24 hours' notice is charged at the full session rate. I am flexible around illness and emergencies.
-
Do I need to commit to weekly sessions?
No. Many students book weekly through the year. Others book intensive blocks before mocks or final exams. I tailor frequency to the student's timeline and goals.
-
What areas do you cover for home visits?
South west London, central London and parts of Surrey. The areas covered page lists every town in detail. For students further afield, I tutor online.
