13+ Business Studies tutors

1 of 1 UK tutor teaching Business Studies at 13+.

Business Studies is offered at GCSE and A-level (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Cambridge Technical and BTEC routes) and covers marketing, finance, operations, HR and strategy. It's more applied than Economics and rewards case-study fluency — the exam papers are built around extended business scenarios. Tutoring helps most with the case-study analysis (where students are asked to evaluate strategic options under uncertainty) and with the quantitative content at A-level — break-even, ratios, investment appraisal — which catches out students who chose Business as the 'maths-light' option. Look for tutors with both teaching experience and some real business background.

The 13+ is the entrance test for independent senior schools (those starting at Year 9 rather than Year 7), sat in Year 8 — typically ISEB Common Pre-Test in Year 6/7 followed by Common Entrance or scholarship papers in Year 8. Some senior schools (Eton, Westminster, Winchester, St Paul's, Harrow) use their own papers. Subject coverage is broader than 11+ — English, maths, science as core, plus humanities, languages and often Latin for scholarship candidates. Tutoring helps most with the breadth, with specific past-paper familiarity for the target school, and with the interview preparation that scholarship rounds usually include.
