Your Business Studies Buddy

I am a qualified Business Studies educator based in Cape Town, South Africa. I have spent years in the classroom watching learners struggle — not because the content is too hard, but because nobody told them exactly what to focus on.

That is why I built The Business Buddy. Every bullet is ranked by exam weight. Every unit has a short video where I walk you through it. Every topic has memory tricks that actually stick.

This is not a generic study guide. This is the exact system I use in my own classroom — now available to every Grade 12 learner in South Africa, at a fraction of the cost of extra tuition.

Extra Study Resources

Business Studies isn't always the only thing standing in the way. Two smaller resources for the thinking side of studying.

Study ShapShap
R100

A study skills and metacognition guide — memory, focus, and how to actually study. It was originally written for Grade 6-9, so the style is younger, but the techniques inside don't have an age limit. Useful if you're struggling with the "how to study" part more than the content itself.

Add to Order — R100
The Thinking Skills Module
R100

A metacognition module built specifically for Grade 12s — think before you ink, becoming the observer of your own thoughts, and treating attention as something you spend on purpose, not something that just happens to you.

What exactly is the 50/70/100% system?

What are the videos like?

Each video is short and focused. Your educator walks through the unit, explains the key concepts, teaches you the memory acronym, and shows you how to apply it. One video per unit. Straight to the point — no filler.

+
Absolutely. The 50% system was designed for exactly your situation. You don't have hours to study everything — so the pack tells you the minimum you need to pass. Study smart, not long. R299 is far less than one session with a tutor — and this covers ALL 15 topics.
