Professional Senior Examiner
With nearly two decades in education, Lorna is an all-round specialist who has worn many hats across the full spectrum of Business Studies: classroom teacher, one-to-one tutor, examiner, and resource creator.
As a Senior Examiner for Edexcel, she is responsible not only for marking exams but also for training, supporting, and quality-checking the work of other examiners. This role has given her exceptional insight into how exam responses are judged, what earns full marks, and the common pitfalls that hold students back.
Lorna combines her insider perspective with the experience of a seasoned classroom teacher, giving students both the knowledge and the practical strategies they need to achieve real, measurable progress.
Lorna began tutoring in 2006 alongside her classroom teaching career and has since supported a wide range of learners, from those who struggle with Business Studies to aspiring entrepreneurs and future business leaders. This experience has reinforced her approach that every minute of contact time should be focused and purposeful.
In her classroom career, Lorna played a key role in curriculum development, including setting up and overseeing the introduction of the Edexcel Business 2015 specification and the Edexcel BTEC Certificate in Business at a top-performing UK school.
Today, she works full-time as a professional online tutor while also producing resources for schools and colleges and continuing her work as a Senior Examiner. This blend of roles keeps her closely connected to the evolving demands of the subject, ensuring her students benefit from up-to-date, exam-focused preparation.
"Lorna inspired confidence, understanding and a Grade A for our son. It is very important at A level that the pupil can have support and confidence in how to answer the questions, she is an examiner, so she knows what is required. She is the best business tutor for A level."
"Lorna is simply one of the best teachers I have come across in a very long time. Her standards and expectations are amazing and this transcends onto my son who is currently in Year 13. I categorically know this outstanding teacher will bring the absolute best out of him as she is currently doing. Nothing is too much trouble, extra work, feedback, answering my random questions and more. I cannot praise this educator enough."
"I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible support and guidance Lorna provided as a tutor. She gave very clear explanations of both subject content as well as exam structure. Prior to Lorna's help I was feeling a little apprehensive about the exams and the seemingly impossible question timings! But her excellent support revealed a path that felt achievable. I highly recommend Lorna to anyone seeking support."
"Lorna has been tutoring my home-educated 14-year-old daughter in GCSE Business Studies. Lorna is brilliant at building rapport and tailoring sessions to each learner's individual needs and level of ability."
"Lorna has made A level Business a much easier and enjoyable experience. She explains topics with great detail and uses real-world examples to help understand concepts. Lorna also encourages questions and discussion which helped deepen my understanding. I would highly recommend Lorna and couldn’t thank her enough."
