EPQ Business Studies tutors in London

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 Extended Project Qualification is a Level 3 standalone qualification taken alongside A-levels (typically in Year 12 or Year 13) and is worth half an A-level (up to 28 UCAS points at A*). Students choose their own topic and produce either a 5,000-word dissertation, or an artefact / performance accompanied by a 1,000-word report, plus a production log and a viva-style presentation. AQA's spec (7993) is the largest by a wide margin (~40,000 entries/year in England); Pearson Edexcel (Dissertation P301, Investigation P302, Performance P303, Artefact P304), OCR (H856) and WJEC / Eduqas also offer it. Tutoring on EPQ is closer to academic-research mentoring than subject teaching: research-question scoping, source evaluation and citation discipline, dissertation structure, statistical analysis where relevant, and viva preparation. Look for tutors with degree-level research experience in the project's topic area; subject-specialist A-level tutors don't always cover the dissertation craft well.
