Surely this has nothing to do with home tutoring? School of thought, perhaps? Suggestions much appreciated :)

I think Edward might be right but the only one who can decide is the asker because she probably has the whole text and can see if it refers to private classes of "conscious experience" (has to do with meditation practices) or types of experience. Reading only this extract I am inclined to think it does not refer to lessons.
