EPQ Finance tutors

2 UK tutors who teach Finance at EPQ.

Finance isn't a standalone GCSE or A-level in the major UK boards, but it appears as content within Economics, Business and Accounting A-levels, in BTEC Business Finance, in LIBF (London Institute of Banking & Finance) qualifications taken by some sixth-forms, and in adult/CPD contexts. University students preparing for finance careers also seek tutoring on quantitative finance, valuation, financial modelling, and CFA-track content. Tutoring helps most where the gap is technical: discounted cash flow, accounting fundamentals for non-accountants, Excel-based modelling. Be explicit about which qualification or context the tuition supports; the audiences and pedagogies differ sharply.

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.
