Somewhere else in Berkshire? Every lesson is live online, so a student in a village outside Pangbourne gets the same qualified teacher as one in Reading. Tell us the school or college and exam board and we’ll plan around them.
Book a free introPlenty of people offer tutoring. Our A-Level Business Tutors are different in six ways.
Every tutor holds a Business degree, a PGCE or PGDE, and Qualified Teacher Status, and has taught in state schools. Meet the tutors.
Schools and colleges in Berkshire use different boards, including AQA and Edexcel, plus BTEC. We teach AQA, Edexcel, OCR and BTEC, and each board’s command words, papers and mark schemes.
70% of our tutees beat their predicted grade by at least one grade, and every result is on our Results Day page.
Past-paper practice marked against the four assessment objectives, so students learn to earn marks, not just revise. How we teach exam technique.

Book a free 15-minute introBerkshire’s post-16 landscape is a mix of further education colleges and school sixth forms. Reading College, Bracknell and Wokingham College and Windsor College list A-level Business, and the county’s school sixth forms add to the choice. Students without an EHC plan apply directly to the provider they choose, so each one’s prospectus is the place to check courses and entry requirements.
That creates three situations we see often:
Providers are named for context only. Business Tutor is independent and has no connection with any of them, and course lists change from year to year, so check each provider’s current prospectus.
Whatever the board, every A-level Business paper is marked against the same four assessment objectives. Your tutor marks each answer against all four and targets the one holding the grade back.
Precise terms, formulas and calculations.
AO2“What does it mean for this business?”Using the case study’s evidence and data.
AO3“What happens next, and why?”Complete chains of cause and effect.
AO4“So what should the business do?”A clear, justified judgement.
New to the four objectives? Start with our guide to A-Level Business assessment objectives.
Examiners reward students who apply theory to real businesses. Berkshire has clear examples across technology, racing and data centres, and we use them in lessons.
Reading hosts campuses for Microsoft and Oracle, with Thames Valley Business Park a hub for several large firms. It draws about 30,000 workers in on a typical morning peak against 24,000 leaving, which suggests a regional employment centre rather than a London suburb.
Turns location, competition and labour-market ideas into evidence-led answers: AO2 Application.
A June 2026 report by the University of Reading and New Horizon Economics put Ascot Racecourse’s contribution at £264.5 million of gross value added and 3,903 full-time equivalent jobs. Royal Ascot alone accounts for about £140 million, and the local area of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire sees nearly £85 million a year.
Ideal for tracing how one event spreads income through local firms: AO3 Analysis.
Slough hosts more than 30 data centres, and an operator-backed report in January 2026 credited them with over 14,000 jobs and more than £30 million a year in business rates. Residents have also campaigned against noise, power and water use, and the loss of land once planned for homes.
A judgement weighing jobs and council income against local costs: AO4 Evaluation.

A-level Business is listed at colleges such as Reading College, Bracknell and Wokingham College and Windsor College, and at other Berkshire providers. Students without an EHC plan apply directly to the provider they choose, so check each prospectus for entry requirements and the exam board.
The University of Reading teaches business and is within reach of most of the county, and London’s universities are within reach of the east.
Business, finance and administration apprenticeships are listed on GOV.UK’s Find an apprenticeship service, alongside employers across the south east.
A strong Business grade keeps every route open, and the analysis and evaluation skills students build with us carry into personal statements, interviews and the workplace.
Yes. All our lessons are one-to-one and online, via Google Meet, so we teach students anywhere in Berkshire, whether or not their town has its own area page yet. Lessons run from a shared Google Doc, so nothing is lost compared with sitting side by side.
It varies by school and college. Windsor College lists Pearson Edexcel for A-level Business, the Reading College and Bracknell and Wokingham College course pages we checked don’t name a board, and AQA, OCR and BTEC Business are also taught. Several colleges don’t publish their board online. We teach AQA, Edexcel and OCR. If your board is another one, such as WJEC/Eduqas, ask us before booking.
It might. Schools and colleges choose their own boards, so a student who took one board at GCSE can start A-level on another. We’ll check the new specification with you and focus early lessons on the differences in papers, question types and command words.
Yes. We support BTEC Level 2 and Level 3 Business students, helping them understand the grading criteria and prepare for externally assessed units. We guide the work but never write assignments for them.
No. We support GCSE, A-level and BTEC Business with AQA, Edexcel and OCR, but we don’t currently support IB Business Management.
Most students have one 60-minute lesson a week. Early in Year 12, once a fortnight can work; after February half-term in Year 13, two or three a week is common for the final push.
There’s no commitment. Wherever you are in Berkshire, tell a tutor about the school or college, the exam board and the grade you’re aiming for, and find out whether we’re the right fit.
