Consultations have been common in medical and psychological practices. The consultations are between doctors and their patients and between psychologists and their clients. As they can share intensively the issues, they can most likely solve them betters, so such practices have been continuously conducted. In education field, universities in English speaking countries provide one to one consultation to students from the countries whose English is as foreign language or second language to assist them solving students language barriers. Bringing one to one consultation techniques in classroom teaching practices is less common. This study aims to investigate the implementation of one to one consultation in the process of teaching learning in an English education department in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In addition, it may also reveal the strength and weakness of such practices. The data were obtained from in-depth interviews to 5 five teachers and 5 students. The participants are those teachers who have implemented one to one consultation as one of the activities in their teaching practices and students who have joined the class that imposed one to one consultation activities. The findings indicate that teachers have set a good planning before teaching, carried out decent one-to-one consultation activities in the teaching processes, and resulted in better evaluations toward the delivered teaching materials post teaching activities. The one-to-one consultation activities also share several benefits and pose some weaknesses.
