Understand the topic
Use familiar businesses and real decisions to make unfamiliar concepts easier to understand.
Business that makes sense beyond the textbook.
From understanding a concept to building a convincing argument, Business becomes easier when you can connect it to the world around you.

How I can help
I use familiar organisations and real business decisions to bring theory to life. Together, we can work on the topics you find difficult, practise applying ideas to case studies and develop clear, well-supported answers.
Apply your knowledge
Work out how a theory or calculation helps explain the particular business in the question.
Improve exam answers
Practise analysis, evaluation and the written and quantitative skills your exam board assesses.
A Level Business topics
These are some of the areas we can work on. Lessons follow your exam board’s specification, with time to revisit the topics you find difficult.
Marketing and customers
Market research, segmentation, the marketing mix and how demand and competition influence business decisions.
People and leadership
Motivation, leadership, organisational structures, recruitment and managing the workforce.
Business finance
Sources of finance, cash-flow forecasts, profit, break-even and interpreting financial statements and ratios.
Operations management
Productivity, capacity utilisation, quality, stock control and the decisions involved in managing production.
Strategy and growth
Business objectives, strategic choices, growth, managing change and competing in international markets.
Decision-making techniques
Investment appraisal, decision trees and critical path analysis where included in your specification, with practice interpreting the results.
Content and assessment vary by qualification. Please share your exam board, syllabus code and exam year so we use the right specification and practice materials.
EXAM PREPARATION
Exam technique and revision
Knowing the theory is only part of preparing for A Level Business. I help students use it in case-study answers, develop their reasoning and make judgements supported by the evidence.
We can use past-paper questions, mark schemes and your previous answers to identify what needs attention, then practise under timed conditions when you’re ready.
Answer the question set
Identify what the command word requires and judge how much detail is appropriate for the marks available.
Use the case study
Select relevant evidence about the business and explain how it affects your answer, rather than simply repeating the extract.
Develop analysis and evaluation
Explain the steps between a decision and its consequences, consider alternatives and reach a justified judgement about this business.
Handle data and timing
Show calculations clearly, interpret the result in context and practise allocating time across shorter and extended questions.
