Darshani

I am a qualified teacher with over twenty years in education, and I now teach Business Studies one to one online at GCSE, A level and higher education level. My background covers classroom teaching, Head of Department and Head of Year roles in London secondary schools, teaching in higher education, and specialist assessment work with students who learn differently.

What I enjoy most is the moment a student stops seeing Business Studies as a list of terms to memorise and starts seeing how a real company actually works. That shift is usually where the grades come from.

My sessions are calm, structured and predictable. I share a plan in advance, I work at the pace the student needs, and I explain marks openly so students understand what they are aiming for rather than guessing. Camera use is optional. Parents of younger students are welcome to ask for a short update after any session.

Experience: I hold a PGCE from the Institute of Education, UCL, and have taught Business Studies to GCSE and A level throughout my career, including as Head of Department. I have also taught at higher education level, so I can support undergraduate students with business and management modules, assignment structure, referencing and academic writing as well as school level work. I have examined for Edexcel and OCR, so I know how mark schemes are applied in practice and where students most often lose marks on the higher tariff questions. I cover AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Cambridge iGCSE and BTEC Level 3.

Alongside subject teaching, I am a Level 7 SpLD Specialist Assessor holding AMBDA, and I hold an NPQ SENCO. I work regularly with autistic students and with learners who have dyslexia, ADHD, exam anxiety or an EHCP, and I adapt materials and pacing from the first session rather than waiting for difficulties to appear. I also support students who are home educated or struggling to attend school.

My teaching combines full specification coverage with exam technique, study skills and structured revision. I hold an enhanced DBS on the update service, professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and ICO registration as a data controller.
