IB Business Studies tutors

1 of 1 UK tutor teaching Business Studies at IB.

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 International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a two-year sixth-form qualification taken in place of A-levels, offered by some independent and a small number of state schools. Students take six subjects (three Higher Level, three Standard Level) plus the Theory of Knowledge course, the Extended Essay, and CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service). UK universities accept the IB on equivalent UCAS-points terms, often with course-specific subject requirements. Tutoring helps most with HL subject content (which goes beyond A-level in some cases), with the Extended Essay, and with the Theory of Knowledge essay and presentation. Look for tutors with explicit IB teaching or examining experience.
