Classical Start Tutoring practices a pedagogy based on historically successful education methods of the past. Charlotte Mason Education sees the child as a whole person from birth, not a blank sheet of paper, but deserving of the best of English literature and most effective methods of education.  

Classical education respects the child's stages of development.  In the early years, rote memory establishes the foundational facts required, middle years establish connections between the subjects and skills learned, and the upper level provides them with methods and practice to communicate, even persuade, effectively what they have learned.  They become independent learners and thinkers, not just cogs in the wheels of industrialism.
