ABEL’s 1-1 live, individualised, and interactive sessions are conducted over the internet. In these sessions, there is direct and real-time communication between you and the Consultant.
This personalised approach allows for tailored instruction, guidance, and support based on your specific needs and goals. People often start with one session to overcome a specific issue they have in English, but they choose to continue with ABEL when they see how quickly they overcome barriers in English communication. Clients tell us how pleased they are when they see rapid improvements in their ability to clearly communicate in English, whether that's spoken, written, or a combination of both in presentations and online videos!
Our Consultants are experts in both the use of English and education. They use your specific situation to deliver a personalised session that helps you to understand the underlying mechanisms of the tailored solution you receive — so you know exactly how to overcome the problem in the future.
With ABEL, you always have the opportunity to ask for further clarification on any point, during or after the 1-1 session. The dynamic nature of ABEL’s live sessions enables active engagement, time for questions and answers, opportunities for real-time practice, development of deep understanding, and achievement of learning goals you can see in real-time..
Overall, our 1-1 online live sessions provide a flexible and personalised learning experience, bringing ABEL’s unique blend of expertise and support when and where you need it.
Our Consultants are hand-picked following a thorough recruitment process, ensuring that ABEL delivers consistently high-value support.

Our Consultants have experience teaching and supporting English-learners from all backgrounds, both in-person and online. We use video-conferencing software to deliver support when and where you need it, for as long as you need it.
This may be a one-off session, a series of sessions over a year or over the course of a particular project.
ABEL’s 1-1 Live Sessions provide great value for money because your clients or assessors will immediately recognise the high quality language you confidently use in your final product, whether it is text-based or an oral presentation.
Having your own personal consultant available as and when required allows you to be sure that your work is first-rate and will be seen as a premium product.
With our Consultant’s help, your workload is reduced whilst your output is increased. This frees up more time to work on other projects, practise the delivery of your presentation, or gives you or your team more leisure time.
Because all sessions are tailored to your precise needs, ABEL provides great value and maximises the benefits for all learners of English.
Our Consultants customise the support they provide based on your specific needs, goals, and proficiency level.
Our 1-1 Live Sessions reduce wasted time, stress, and anxiety by addressing the specific areas where you want to improve. If other problem-areas are identified by you or your personal Consultant during the session, these can be worked on during the session, after the session using resources provided by the Consultant, or addressed in subsequent sessions.
Your Consultant can politely identify and correct language errors, offer pronunciation guidance, and provide tips for improvement in real time!
This direct feedback method helps you to understand your strengths and weaknesses — enabling you to make small adjustments where needed and progress rapidly and effectively.
ABEL’s Consultants also benefit from the interaction with you during our Live 1-1 Sessions because they can adapt to your individual Learning Style. This allows them to enjoy the sessions more as they understand your unique learning style and preferences. This means the Consultant can adapt their teaching methods and materials to suit your style, making the session more engaging for them compared to a class-style setting and providing you with a premium service where you will feel your ability to express yourself clearly improving.
Other aspects of ABEL’s personalised approach that Clients find helpful include:
Clarification of doubts: Clients can freely ask questions and seek clarifications and receive immediate explanations and examples;
Flexibility and speed of learning: Clients have the flexibility to set their own pace — if more time is needed to understand a concept, then the focus of the session can change (this is not possible in an English class!) or conversely, if a concept is understood quickly, other areas can be explored;
Motivation and accountability: Clients find that the personalised attention in a 1-1 live session increases their motivation to succeed and they find it easier to apply themselves to overcome specific challenges.
Clients receive encouragement and guidance from our Consultants, which helps build confidence and motivation. Using ABEL in this way, you can achieve your English-language learning goals. Our flexible approach allows you to progress at a comfortable and effective speed, maximising your language acquisition.
You will feel the benefits of this more effective and efficient learning experience, enabling you to improve your English language skills, achieve higher levels of proficiency, and improve your confidence to communicate your ideas clearly and concisely.
Clients have told us how invaluable they find the feedback they get on everything from writing an email to preparing funding applications and writing their doctoral thesis. Having someone available online to look over what they have produced — even if it is just one paragraph they have been struggling with — helps them to not only finally write in a way that flows well and delivers their intended meaning clearly, but also they can see why the improvements have been suggested and understand how to do it own their own the next time they face a similar issue.
This approach is so valuable because our brain is wired to learn from immediate feedback. We can learn to overcome a language-based problem up to 5 times better when feedback is given in a timely manner. This helps to immediately clarify doubts, reinforce learning, and work on any specific challenges you have.
Having your own personal Consultant on-hand to guide you in your writing and oral delivery provides reassurance that your are on the right track, reducing anxiety, stress, and the time you need to complete your work.
Some people find it difficult to progress in English classes, but excel when they are given 1-1 support at the time and place of their choosing!
ABEL’s Interactive 1-1 Live Sessions are more engaging than class-based solutions and stimulate learning more effectively to produce deeper understanding and improved recall, resulting in higher quality work now and in the future.
You will find that a Live 1-1 session with ABEL increases active engagement through real-time communication, 2-way discussions on the issues you face (rather than a lecture in a class!), interactive activities, and tips and advice to help you overcome that specific issue in the future.
Why spend time in a class receiving general advice when you can get what you need directly from an ABEL Expert?!
During a 1-1 Session, you can ask questions, seek clarifications, and engage in discussions with someone who really cares about helping you express yourself clearly in English. Our Consultants love to build up meaningful working relationships with Clients over a course of sessions, but we will never sell you short in the hope you will come back for more sessions, we know that Clients use ABEL’s 1-1 Sessions because they see themselves improving in leaps and bounds.
In these ways, ABEL’s 1-1 Live Sessions create a dynamic and collaborative learning environment where Clients’ abilities improve exponentially and they see real-life results and benefits.
Your time is valuable. As outlined above, ABEL’s 1-1 Sessions maximise your time by making it quicker to revise and rework your tasks. In this way, your productivity increases, your stress levels decrease, and you have more free time available.
ABEL's 1-1 Sessions eliminate the need to travel to a physical location, whether that be an English academy, a writing-centre on campus, a tutor’s house, or a café. Travel obviously takes time and you have to consider travel expenses and other associated costs. Coupled with the increased value you receive from ABEL’s dedicated expert Consultants, our online Live 1-1 Sessions are a more cost-effective option compared to traditional in-person sessions.
As an employer, you know that how your employees spend their in-work time and their levels of engagement throughout the day are crucial to the success of your business. Travel to classes or tutor-sessions makes no sense during the work day, and paying for English-support classes in your place of work may seem like a viable option. However, to really improve specific aspects of your employees work-related English and boost their confidence during interactions based in English, providing them with personalised support with zero travel time or expenses may be the way forward for your business. Your clients will be able to engage with personnel who can not only be understood clearly, but are able to understand exactly what your clients need.
At the end of the day, ABEL is here to help you improve your abilities to communicate clearly in English, whether as an individual or a business, and you will see the benefits of the improvements in real terms — from your daily interactions in English, and increases in your marks, salary, or revenue.
Speaking practice is crucial for English language learners. It is more comfortable and more effective to practise speaking with an ABEL Consultant rather than in a real-life situation!
In a 1-1 live session, you have lots of speaking opportunities and because you actively engage in conversations based on topics that benefit you, your Consultant will be able to support you every step of the way. This unique 1-1 interaction gives you confidence and builds fluency, not only allowing you to understand the reasons behind the solutions our Consultants provide to help you overcome specific issues, but also providing you with the time and space to practise your newly-acquired levels of English.
Because you receive undivided attention in our sessions, you can practise expressing yourself without hesitation or interruption, you will feel your abilities and confidence increase and others will notice how you can confidently use the finer points of English in your work and personal life.
You will not only beat the specific problem you have now, but our Consultants will help you remember the specific language points — so you will always be able to confidently express yourself in the future! This frees up more time to spend on other activities or master other points of English!
Don’t just take our word for it, here are some testimonials from other ABEL Clients:
"Out of all the tutors I've had, Ian was the one who taught me the importance of clearness and conciseness in my writing. He always took the time to explain his suggestions, and his feedback was always constructive and much appreciated." Ralou M
"I used Scott as a private teacher to take the C2 Trinity exam, which I passed! Scott's preparation was completely oriented to what I was going to find in the exam, with very pleasant and dynamic sessions, so with only a few meetings I soon reached my goal." Cristina C
“Ian offered some fantastic advice on my writing. He was excellent at noticing my spelling and grammatical errors and also making the form and flow of my words more appealing. As a mature student returning to writing at the postgraduate level, it was great to have that input and support. I would recommend him to anyone." Adam R
"Scott is very serious and responsible in his work, and is very committed to the needs of the student. They recommended him to me and they were right. I would highly recommend him. His professionalism and the quality of his teaching make him a real gem." Daniel G
“Ian was a brilliant consultant, whenever I had any questions or needed some feedback, he was always there to help me advance with my project. During the process he was not only academically helpful but I could also connect with him at a personal level, making the process extremely fun and easygoing.” Claudia M
“I am 37 and have had many English teachers. Scott has been by far the best. Both for exam preparation, which he does very well, and simply for learning English, he is a very good teacher.” Justo M

Being able to convey your ideas to a wide audience clearly is extremely important, so we will support you to improve your competence and your confidence.
Please remember that we will be able to help you improve your ability to communicate, whatever your specialist subject!
This depends on you! We can use a range of video-conferencing tools, so you can specify which one you prefer and simply ensure you are connected to the internet when you want the session to start.
For example, you may prefer to use a desk-top computer in a quiet location for a 90-minute session, but for a brief interaction to clarify a single point, you can use your mobile phone and headphones in a local café!
If you don’t want to share your image, for whatever reason, that is no problem at all. ABEL is an ethical, non-discriminatory company so your comfort is a joint priority alongside ensuring that you receive the best guidance and support possible.
You do not have to activate your camera during a session, and you can just share the screen with the project you are working on. Audio-only sessions are also available (see below).
Some Clients prefer audio-only calls for a range of reasons, and this is of course an option for all clients.
Our initial contact form is based on years of experience of helping people overcome problems in English language communication. It is designed to help you work out and describe what you want help with. However, it is only a starting point and your sessions can be adapted if other topics of interest or other issues you need help with occur to you during a session.
Remember that our Consultants are experts and you can help you organise your ideas and express them clearly!
Please don’t worry, this is common and can even be a worry for those who have grown up speaking English! Trying a new way of learning can be scary, but our expert Consultants are used to helping people of all abilities and we will be able to accommodate your needs.
If you want to build up to engaging in Live 1-1 sessions, you can see our range of other services here, and you can start with our asynchronous (or offline) support services.
