Why Oxfordshire 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 Oxfordshire use different boards, including AQA and OCR, plus BTEC. 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 Oxfordshire’s colleges and sixth forms

How Oxfordshire’s Post-16 Landscape Shapes Business Studies

Oxfordshire’s post-16 landscape is a mix of further education colleges and school sixth forms. City of Oxford College and Henley College both 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:

  • 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 Oxfordshire, for example, City of Oxford College lists OCR A-level Business, while Henley College lists AQA.
  • 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.

Oxfordshire case studies

Oxfordshire’s Economy as a Business Classroom

Examiners reward students who apply theory to real businesses. Oxfordshire has clear examples across science, retail and car manufacturing, and we use them in lessons.

Clusters & location

Harwell Campus

Harwell Campus near Didcot says its community grew from 6,000 to 7,500 people in two years, with over 50 new organisations including Moderna and the UK Space Agency, and more than £300 million invested in the campus. These figures come from the campus’s own website, so students can ask what a promoter might leave out.

Location & marketing

Bicester Village

Bicester Village opened in April 1995 with 13 boutiques and one café, and by 2025 had about 150 boutiques and 6.7 million visitors in 2024, according to Wikipedia. It has its own railway station, and is described as among the UK’s most visited places for Chinese tourists after Buckingham Palace.

Strategy & risk

Mini Plant Oxford

BMW announced a £600 million plan to make electric Minis in Oxford from 2026. In early 2025 it postponed that indefinitely, and by June 2026 the plant was still building only combustion-engine models while electric Minis were built in China and Leipzig. Reported reasons include new EU and UK rules of origin from January 2027 and thin margins on small electric cars.

After Business Studies

Next Steps in Oxfordshire

  1. Sixth form & college

    A-level Business is listed at colleges such as City of Oxford College and Henley College, and at other Oxfordshire providers. Students without an EHC plan apply directly to the provider they choose, so check each prospectus for entry requirements and the exam board.

  2. University

    Oxford Brookes University and the University of Oxford are both in the county, and both teach business-related courses.

  3. Apprenticeships

    Business, finance and administration apprenticeships are listed on GOV.UK’s Find an apprenticeship service, alongside employers across the region.

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.

FAQs

Questions Oxfordshire Parents Ask

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

Yes. All our lessons are one-to-one and online, via Google Meet, so we teach students anywhere in Oxfordshire, 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 Oxfordshire schools and colleges use for Business?

It varies by school and college. City of Oxford College lists OCR for A-level Business, Henley College lists AQA, and Edexcel 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.

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.
