AS-level Business Studies tutors

1 of 1 UK tutor teaching Business Studies at AS-level.

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.

AS-levels are the first-year sixth-form qualification (Year 12, age 16-17), taken as standalone qualifications worth half an A-level in subjects where students don't continue to A2. Since the 2015-2017 reforms decoupled AS from A-level in England, AS marks no longer count toward the A-level grade — students sit fresh A-level exams at the end of Year 13. Wales and Northern Ireland retained the older modular structure. Tutoring at AS focuses on consolidation through Year 12 to set up A-level success; in England, the AS exam itself is now optional and increasingly skipped. Confirm the actual route the student is on.
