The online experience
Structure when you need it. Flexibility where it helps.
Study from wherever you live while keeping a consistent weekly rhythm. Live teaching, recorded explanations, clear assignment milestones and direct access to Rhys keep the next step visible.
Your lead teacher
Learn Business with Rhys Coombes.
Rhys is a UK-qualified Business Studies and Economics teacher with four years of classroom and online teaching experience. His approach is calm and practical: understand the goal, learn the concept, use evidence and build an independent response.
Historical distinction rate
The 95% figure describes historical outcomes among students taught by Rhys. It is not a guarantee that a learner will achieve a particular grade.
A typical study week
Know what you are doing and why.
Live teaching
Learn the business concept, ask questions and examine real organisations.
Independent study
Research evidence, take notes and develop the assigned task.
Progress check
Review milestones, clarify permitted questions and keep your work on schedule.
Reflect and continue
Use formal decisions and authorised feedback to understand what comes next.
Feedback with integrity
Support is close. The submitted work remains yours.
Before formal assessment, Rhys teaches the knowledge, models research and writing approaches, and helps you understand the criteria. Once work enters formal assessment, feedback, resubmission and retake rules are controlled by Pearson and the approved centre.
- Teaching and examples before formal assessment
- Clear deadlines and progress milestones
- Independent learner work and authentication
- One authorised resubmission only where the formal rules allow it
What Rhys can do
Teach, explain, demonstrate methods, answer permitted questions and support planning.
What Rhys cannot do
Write assessed work for you, promise a grade or bypass controlled-assessment rules.
Study from anywhere
Bring a laptop, a reliable connection and a willingness to work.
Online study removes the daily journey to a physical school, but it still requires attendance, independent reading, deadlines and sustained effort.
Live online access
Join lessons and discussions from home or another suitable study space.
Recorded explanations
Revisit difficult ideas without replacing live participation or independent work.
Direct communication
Know how to raise a question, report a difficulty and ask for appropriate support.
