Why Nottinghamshire families choose us

What Makes Business Tutor Different

Plenty of people offer tutoring. Our A-Level Business Tutors are different in six ways.

Qualified teachers only

Every tutor holds a Business degree, a PGCE or PGDE, and Qualified Teacher Status, and has taught in state schools. Meet the tutors.

Exam board specialists

Schools and colleges in Nottinghamshire use different boards, and many name none on the pages we read. We teach AQA, Edexcel, OCR and BTEC, and each board’s command words, papers and mark schemes.

Results we publish

70% of our tutees beat their predicted grade by at least one grade, and every result is on our Results Day page.

Exam technique in most lessons

Past-paper practice marked against the four assessment objectives, so students learn to earn marks, not just revise. How we teach exam technique.

A shared lesson document

Every lesson runs from a shared Google Doc, which becomes a complete, organised set of revision notes mapped to their specification.

Online, so distance doesn’t matter

Live on Google Meet, with no journey to a tutor after school or college. Families anywhere in the county get the same qualified teacher.

Business in Nottinghamshire’s colleges and sixth forms

How Nottinghamshire’s Post-16 Landscape Shapes Business Studies

Nottinghamshire’s post-16 landscape here is a mix of colleges and school sixth forms, and Nottingham is a separate council area from the county. A-level Business is listed by West Notts College in Mansfield, which names no board, and by Chilwell School, which names AQA and doesn’t give its location on the document we read. Magnus Academy in Newark lists a BTEC Level 3 in Business rather than an A-level, The Becket School in Nottingham lists Business without saying which qualification, and North Notts College in Worksop lists Business without a level, so none of those is confirmed as A-level. Many pages we read were undated, so each provider’s current prospectus is the place to check.

That creates three situations we see often:

A new college or sixth form at 16 often means a new exam boardA student who took Edexcel GCSE may start an AQA A-level, with different papers and command words. In Nottinghamshire, for example, Chilwell School lists AQA for A-level Business, while West Notts College names no board on the page we read.
Many start A-level Business from scratchBusiness is usually an option subject at GCSE, so plenty of Year 12s meet it for the first time.
Some providers offer vocational Business alongside, or instead of, the A-levelCheck each prospectus to see whether a vocational Business course sits alongside the A-level. We support both routes.

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.

AO1“What is it?”

Knowledge & Understanding

Precise terms, formulas and calculations.

AO2“What does it mean for this business?”

Application

Using the case study’s evidence and data.

AO3“What happens next, and why?”

Analysis

Complete chains of cause and effect.

AO4“So what should the business do?”

Evaluation

A clear, justified judgement.

Nottinghamshire’s Economy as a Business Classroom

Examiners reward students who apply theory to real businesses. The county has clear examples across public budgets, local government and fire services, and we use them in lessons.

Pricing & demand

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue’s council tax

The Combined Fire Authority approved on 27 February 2026 a £5.00 rise in the Band D charge to £102.21 for 2026/27, on a £62.2m budget made up of £35.5m from council tax, £15.1m grant, £11.5m business rates and £0.1m reserves. Council tax is 57.1% of the budget and the rise is about 5.1% on an implied £97.21, both by our arithmetic. The page’s band table is not used here.

Why might a flat £5.00 rise suit an authority, and what would you need to know to judge whether it works? Practise this in AO2 Application.

Interpreting numbers

Nottinghamshire County Council’s budget

A report on the county’s 2026/27 budget says it raises the council’s share of council tax by 3.99%, about £1.24 per household per week, on a budget of £880m, up £212m. Adult social care rises by £68.3m, about 32% of that increase by our arithmetic, while education and SEND falls by £2m. The budget passed 40 votes to 20, and a Conservative amendment lost 17 to 43. The report doesn’t give savings or reserves.

Why might one service take about a third of a budget rise, and what would you want to check? Step by step in AO3 Analysis.

Strategy & stakeholders

Reorganising Nottinghamshire’s councils

Mansfield District Council reports that government announced on 16 July 2026 it would implement Nottingham City Council’s proposal, replacing nine councils with two unitary councils. One covers the city plus parts of Broxtowe, Gedling and Rushcliffe, and the other covers Ashfield, Bassetlaw, Mansfield and Newark and Sherwood plus other parts of those three areas. The decision was confirmed verbally with a written decision to follow, parliamentary approval is needed, elections are due in May 2027 and the new councils in April 2028. The county and Rushcliffe backed a different option. This is a council’s own account.

When a decision splits districts between two new councils, what should employers, suppliers and residents do now, and who gains or loses? A real judgement for AO4 Evaluation.

Sources: Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, budget and council tax page; a report on Nottinghamshire County Council’s 2026/27 budget; Mansfield District Council, local government reorganisation news. The 57.1%, 5.1% and 32% figures are our arithmetic. The budget report is undated and doesn’t say how the £212m is measured, and the reorganisation account is a council’s.

FAQs

Questions Nottinghamshire Parents Ask

Do you offer A-Level Business tutoring anywhere in Nottinghamshire?

Yes. All our lessons are one-to-one and online, via Google Meet, so we teach students anywhere in the county, 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.

Which exam boards do Nottinghamshire schools and colleges use for Business?

It varies by school and college. Chilwell School lists AQA, and West Notts College names no board on the page we checked. We teach AQA, Edexcel and OCR. If your board is another one, such as WJEC/Eduqas, ask us before booking.

My child is moving to a new college or sixth form. Will the exam board change?

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.

Can you help with BTEC Business?

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.

Do you teach International Baccalaureate (IB) Business?

No. We support GCSE, A-level and BTEC Business with AQA, Edexcel and OCR, but we don’t currently support IB Business Management.

How many lessons will my son or daughter need?

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.
