Practical CPD for Business Teachers
Expert support from an experienced Business teacher and examiner
​
​
​
Teaching Business for the first time can feel daunting. You may be learning a new specification, taking on Business as a second subject or stepping into a Head of Department role with new responsibilities.
My practical CPD sessions are designed to give you the knowledge, confidence and resources you need to teach Business effectively.​
I have taught Business for 26 years across GCSE, A level and vocational qualifications, alongside working as an examiner for more than 20 years. I have also supported teachers through CPD courses, webinars, student events and qualification advice.

Review
Sarah was exceptionally clear, extremely knowledgeable, friendly and very approachable. Our session was focused and practical, with a real emphasis on exam success. Sarah demonstrated how best to structure the different types of questions found in AS and A level papers. Sharing lots of helpful tips including how to master evaluation and analysis techniques, clearly explaining the chains of analysis technique. Sarah really helped build my confidence in these areas. I genuinely felt like I was being shown the ‘secrets’ of how to. I’ve come away from the session feeling so much more confident in my ability, knowing it will make a massive difference to my performance. It never felt intimidating to ask questions, and explanations were always welcome. I can’t recommend this highly enough and will definitely be returning for more help and support from Sarah in the future.

Thanks so much!
