Book a free 15-minute introEvery A-Level Business exam, whichever board, is marked against four assessment objectives. Hard-working students often lose most of their marks on the last three, because nobody has shown them what the examiner is looking for.
In lessons, your tutor marks answers against all four, shows exactly which skill is holding the grade back, and practises that skill until it becomes a habit.
Precise definitions, formulas and calculations, with gaps found from test scores and rebuilt.
AO2“What does it mean for this business?”Using the case study’s evidence and data, not just naming the business.
AO3“What happens next, and why?”Building complete chains of reasoning with no gaps between cause and effect.
AO4“So what should the business do?”Reaching a clear, supported judgement instead of repeating the argument.
Tell us about their school or college, exam board, recent results and target grade. Ask the tutor anything.
We review test scores, reports and teacher feedback, then target the weakest topics and skills first.
Usually one 60-minute lesson a week on Google Meet, from a shared Google Doc that becomes their revision notes. More before exams.
Most families book the intro, meet the tutor, and decide from there.

Watch the videosLessons are online, but they’re planned around the colleges, exam boards and local businesses Redhill students actually meet.
According to their own published course information, Business is currently offered at:
A sixth form college whose course page names Pearson Edexcel for A-level Business and also lists a BTEC Level 3 Business course.
Other Redhill schools and colleges may also offer Business, so check each one’s current prospectus.
Business Tutor is independent and isn’t affiliated with any of these colleges. Whichever one your son or daughter attends, lessons follow their specification and complement what they’re learning in class.
Three two-hour papers of data-response questions, each ending in an extended answer. Paper 3 is based on a context the exam board releases in advance, usually a whole industry or market.
We practise working quickly through unfamiliar data, and build lessons around each year’s pre-released context, so students walk into Paper 3 already fluent in that industry. That fluency makes Application much easier to earn.
Three written papers, each mixing short-answer questions with case-study and extended-response questions.
With AQA students we sharpen multiple-choice and calculation accuracy, where marks are quick to win or lose, then practise the evaluation that the long answers reward.
OCR assesses A-level Business through three written papers, so students need to be ready for different question styles across the course.
We map every lesson to the OCR specification and past papers, and drill the command words that decide whether an answer stays descriptive or reaches analysis.
Not sure which board your child sits? Reigate College’s course page names Edexcel for its A-level Business, but we couldn’t confirm the board at other schools and colleges near Redhill, and schools sometimes change board. Just send it to us before the first lesson (it’s on the exam timetable, textbook or a mock paper) and we’ll plan every lesson around that specification.
Every exam question is set in a business context, so our tutors use businesses your son or daughter already knows to make theory stick.
A 2018 Surrey Chambers profile described Redhill station as a major interchange on the Brighton Main Line and listed companies with headquarters in Redhill and Reigate, including Canon UK, Kimberly Clark’s European headquarters and Willis Towers Watson’s European headquarters.
Why does a rail interchange matter to a firm choosing where to locate? Practise this in AO2 Application.
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council lists the 2017 Warwick Quadrant redevelopment, which added retail, accommodation and entertainment with about 875 parking spaces, among its Redhill achievements. In 2022, Wheatley Court delivered 32 affordable flats with commercial space at ground level.
Who gains and who might lose when a town centre adds homes, shops and car parking at once? Step by step in AO3 Analysis.
The council describes The Rise at Marketfield Way as a leisure, retail and residential project that is transforming Redhill town centre. Coast to Capital lists its funding at about £27.1 million, mostly match funding, with planned outputs including 150 homes and 7,141 sq m of commercial space.
Does a scheme like this give shoppers a reason to stay longer, and how would a council know? A real judgement for AO4 Evaluation.
Redhill is a rail hub with corporate head offices and a town centre that has been rebuilt in stages. That gives students contexts for location, stakeholders and investment appraisal. We tie these themes to topics on the specification.
| Redhill theme | Specification topic | How we use it in lessons |
|---|---|---|
| The rail interchange | Location; transport and infrastructure | How good transport links widen a firm’s labour market and customer base |
| Corporate head offices | Business size; growth | How large firms organise from a headquarters, and what a move would cost them |
| Town centre rebuilding | Investment appraisal; stakeholders | How councils and developers weigh costs, benefits and risks over many years |
| Affordable homes with shops below | External influences; objectives | How social and commercial goals can support or conflict with each other |
| A commuter town near London and Gatwick | Costs; labour market | How commuting links and housing costs affect where firms locate and who they can hire |

A-level Business at Reigate College, close to Redhill, which also lists a BTEC Level 3 Business course. Other nearby schools and colleges may offer it too, so check each prospectus.
The University of Surrey in Guildford teaches business and management and is within reach of Redhill, which gives students a university to aim for.
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 helps with every route, and the analysis and evaluation skills students build with us carry straight into personal statements, interviews and assessment centres.
All our lessons are one-to-one and online, via Google Meet. That means your son or daughter can work with a fully qualified Business teacher rather than whoever happens to live nearby, and there’s no travel across Redhill after school or college. Lessons run from a shared Google Doc, so nothing is lost compared with sitting side by side.
Yes. Edexcel publishes a new Paper 3 context each year, and we build lessons around it so students are comfortable with that industry well before the exam.
Where a school publishes its specification, we’ll already know it. Local providers don’t always publish their A-level Business board online, so if that applies to yours, send us the exam board before the first lesson and we’ll plan around it.
No. Business Tutor is independent. We support students from any school or college, and our lessons are designed to complement what’s taught in class, not replace it.
Yes. We support BTEC Level 2 and Level 3 Business students, including preparation for externally assessed units. We don’t currently support International Baccalaureate (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. Tell a tutor about your school or college, your exam board and the grade you’re aiming for, and find out whether we’re the right fit.
