Academic & Well-being Tuition

We offer high-quality, small-group tuition in a warm, nature-connected setting. Our sessions are designed to nurture both academic progress and emotional well-being, helping children thrive in all areas of their development.

Child-Centred and Holistic Tuition:

Our approach centres around child-led, personalised learning, with small groups allowing for individual attention and meaningful progress.

Each 6-week block follows themed, cross-curricular learning inspired by the seasons, current events, and learner curiosity.

Base Camp Acorns:

Our younger group focuses on early academic foundations through playful and engaging tuition.

Key areas include:

-Phonics & early reading – following a structured but flexible phonics programme

-Numeracy – using bespoke resources, games, and outdoor maths to build up key knowledge and skill

-Writing & storytelling – through purposeful, nature-linked prompts and projects

-Well-being practices – including mindfulness, yoga, collaborative play, and sensory regulation

Bring Geography to Life with Outdoor Learning!

Take your iGCSE Geography to the next level by bringing key topics to life in the great outdoors. Our sessions offer a fresh twist on traditional learning, providing in-depth support, exam marking with detailed feedback, and well-being guidance to help manage exam stress.

This 2 year course covers a broad range of physical and human geography topics, encouraging learners to explore global issues, develop analytical skills, and understand the world around them.

Lessons are delivered in a supportive, student-centred environment, with a mix of theory, case studies, and practical activities to suit different learning styles. This course is designed to prepare students thoroughly for their final assessments, while also nurturing a genuine interest in geography.

Additional Information:

Two fieldwork opportunities are included in the course. These are essential for developing geographical skills and understanding, and required for the exams. Please note that some parental involvement with transportation and supervision may be required for these sessions.

BCE will deliver all teaching for this course. However, additional independent study will be required at home to support learning and prepare for exams.

Exams are not included in the course fee. Families will need to book and pay for iGCSE exams independently through an approved exam centre.

The course is designed so that different topics are covered each term, allowing flexible entry points. Children can join at the start of any term and sit their exams once they have completed all content.

Pricing & Schedule:

Monday 12:30pm - 2:30pm

Cost: £20 per hour (£240 a term)

Personalised Learning Inspired by Nature

Our 1-1 tuition sessions are designed to meet each learner exactly where they are. Whether your child needs extra support, a boost in confidence, or a more personalised approach to their education, we create a safe, nurturing space where learning feels natural and enjoyable.

Each session is tailored around your child’s interests and abilities, blending academic subjects with hands-on, creative, and nature-inspired activities. This approach helps knowledge to ‘stick’ in meaningful ways and encourages curiosity, independence, and resilience.

With gentle guidance and plenty of encouragement, we focus on building both skills and self-belief—whether that’s in maths, literacy, history, or wider themed learning. Sessions take place in our cosy log cabin classroom and outdoor learning space, creating the perfect balance of structure and freedom.
