This guide is a practical and philosophical companion for those seeking to cultivate a richly human, deeply attentive form of education within homeschool tutorials and co-ops. Rooted in the principles of poetic teaching, it offers a vision of learning that cultivates wonder, strengthens memory, and forms the affections—not merely the intellect.
Designed for directors, tutors, and parents alike, the TCT Tutorial Guide provides clear structures for gathering children into meaningful academic communities while preserving the intimacy and integrity of a home-centered education. It walks step-by-step through the rhythms of a tutorial day, the art of leading lessons, and the subtle work of guiding narration, discussion, and habit formation.
Inside, you’ll find:
A compelling vision for poetic, relational learning in group settings
Practical frameworks for organizing and running tutorials and co-ops
Guidance for leading lessons across subjects with clarity and beauty
Strategies for cultivating attention, memory, and joyful participation
Encouragement for building communities rooted in friendship and shared purpose
7 Years of Lesson Plans (Written in Cycles for Combining Grades in Classrooms)
Lesson plans can be followed consecutively, or they can be followed cyclically by combining grades 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and 5-7.
Timetables and lesson plans are fully adaptable to your program.

Whether you are launching a new co-op, refining an existing tutorial, or seeking to deepen your teaching practice, this guide offers both inspiration and structure. It is not a rigid system, but a living approach—one that invites both teacher and student into a fuller encounter with truth, goodness, and beauty.
Ideal for those who desire more than efficiency in education, and who are willing to pursue something slower, richer, and more enduring.
