- Awesome science themed lessons! My students and I love that so many topics in the English News course are science related. The discussion questions were fantastic at getting one of my shyest students to speak and elaborate on her ideas. She spoke at length about her ideas for protecting animals!read moreread less

- Like VIPkid, zero prep work required I am so impressed with this company’s curriculum. My students craved the interactivity they once had with online Chinese schools like PalFish, VIPKid etc. so this company fills a much needed gap for online teachers like myself. Overall, the curriculum is well-organized, clever and fun. Most importantly, it requires very little prep-work which is a must for busy/lazy teachers like me, lol. I am particularly impressed with the expansion courses. My son, students, and their parents all loved “The School of Magic”. I’ve yet to try many of the others with students but I’ve had a chance to review them and they look great. The customer service is also outstanding. I always get a quick and helpful reply which is important to me as I’m not very tech savvy. I really appreciate all their help in figuring out how to use the various video platforms as well as all the assistance with learning how to use tools and navigate the site, etc. Anyway, 5 stars all the way, highly recommended! Thanks.read moreread less

- Such a timesaver! I just finished teaching a lesson, and my student and I are both very excited. Initially, she asked me if she could take a screenshot during the lesson, but I told her that I would send her the workbook after the lesson instead. I can't express how happy I am.

Frequently asked questions
The Abridge Academy curriculum is continually expanding. Currently, we have over 500 lessons in total (including the core curriculum courses and specialist courses). We are adding new lessons every week, so there will always be plenty of content to keep your students happy!
Yes! Select the “free tier” option above, which provides you with free access to a limited selection of lessons across different courses and levels. This is a great way to browse the resources and try them out with your students before committing to a paid subscription.
For your convenience, your subscription will automatically renew each month. If you wish to cancel your subscription, simply log into your account and cancel anytime. If there is an error processing your monthly subscription payment, for example due to your card expiring, please be aware that you will lose access to the resources until the fee has been paid. You can update your payment details and resume your subscription within your profile.
Definitely not! We don’t believe in sneaking price increases on teachers – once you’ve subscribed, you lock in that subscription price for life (excluding any special first month discounts or the like, which will be clearly indicated on the checkout page). As long as you keep your subscription active, your price will not increase.
Our resources are intended as a kids curriculum, with lots of fun games and interactive activities aimed at young learners. Additionally, some of our more advanced resources are designed for a teenage age range, with more formal styling and topics more of interest to teens. However, these are just rough guidelines – always consider first the level and needs of your students.
We use the Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR) levels and aligned our curriculum with the Cambridge Young Learner English exams (starters / movers / flyers). Our step-by-step curriculum currently focuses on the beginner to pre-intermediate levels (levels A1-A2). Our supplementary courses cover all CEFR levels, including resources for more advanced students.
The Abridge Academy online ESL curriculum resources are designed for both one-on-one and small group classes (typically up to six students). This includes the games and activities. You may also find most resources still work well for larger class sizes, however it may be challenging from a class management perspective if you wish for learners to use the interactive tools. Instead, for large classes we recommend students use the provided PDF workbooks and links to WordWall activities / quizzes.
Yes! Unlike the majority of educational resources companies (who do not allow for-profit use), our subscriptions come with a commercial licence as standard. There are also no restrictions on the number of students you can teach. You are welcome to use the Abridge Academy online ESL curriculum resources for teaching live classes through your independent online teaching business. You can also use the curriculum content in your marketing or class descriptions. Please note however that if you are an agency with multiple tutors, each tutor will need a separate account – please see the “school plan” option above if you would like to manage billing centrally for a team of teachers. Our system can detect and will automatically block users who are sharing accounts. Please also be aware that we do not permit sharing, reselling or redistribution of the resources outside of the Abridge Academy site.
These resources are suitable for any online teaching platform which allows screen sharing or co-browsing. In particular, we have tested the resources on Koala Go, Funclass, Zoom, Zhumu, Voov (Tencent Meeting), ClassIn, DingTalk, and Surfly. Note that some of these platforms do not allow two-way interaction (for your students to be able to directly engage with the games/ activities). The resources do still work very well simply with you moving the elements on the slides on their behalf, but for younger learners who enjoy playing with the slides we would particularly recommend Koala Go. Please be aware that, due to the interactive elements, you cannot download the resources to your computer to re-upload to your online classroom software. The lessons must be opened in your teaching platform’s browser or via screen sharing.
Our resources are fully compatible with computers, tablets and mobile devices, from the teacher’s end. This means that you can teach from any device, from anywhere! However, do be aware that some online teaching software is not fully compatible with mobile devices – check with your teaching platform to confirm.
Yes! Our resources come with a commercial licence as standard. You can teach live classes with any company, and can use these resources in your marketing materials if you wish. Some platforms may ask to see proof that you have permission to use the teaching resources, please contact us if you need assistance.
We do not require you to credit Abridge Academy in your class listings/ marketing. However, if you do wish to reassure learners that they will be following a formal, trusted curriculum, you may state that you are “using the Abridge Academy curriculum”. Note that we do not endorse teachers and you may not use terms such as “partner” in order to avoid misleading learners.
A step-by-step online ESL curriculum such as the Abridge Academy curriculum has been designed by experts to guide your students through learning English in a well-structured way. Our lessons follow a logical order, gradually introduce and reinforce new vocabulary/ grammar, and include directed review activities. Additionally, unlike a textbook or worksheets, our resources are designed specifically for online teaching – with full interactivity and optimised for screen sharing (including on mobile devices).
