Zabaan offers instruction of a quality that is on par-and may be even superior- to that of the best universities in the world. I took private Hindi lessons with Rachyita Gupta as my lead instructor and greatly appreciated her mastery of the language. The deep knowledge of linguistics she acquired through completion of a master’s degree and sheer passion clearly showed. It allowed her to explain concepts and how Hindi works in a way that is easy to understand for a non-native speaker. She took the time to develop an individualized learning plan for me, sparing me the drudgery of cookie-cutter curricula. She also focused on giving me tips for self-study so I can continue to learn autonomously when away from Delhi. Beyond language instructions, she proved willing to help me understand India better, including facets of its many cultures, how it is changing and the challenges it faces today. I found all of my instructors to be on time, well-prepared for lessons and highly responsive to my interests. In my opinion, the premium costs of the private lessons at Zabaan is well reflected in the quality of their teaching.

With over 10 years of teaching experience, I am a dedicated language tutor specializing in Pashto, Dari (Farsi), and English. My passion for languages drives me to create engaging and effective lessons tailored to the unique needs of each student. I believe that language learning is not just about vocabulary and grammar, but also about understanding culture and context, which I incorporate into my teaching approach.
As a language learner myself, currently studying Arabic and Urdu, I understand the challenges and joys that come with acquiring a new language. This perspective allows me to empathize with my students and adapt my methods to enhance their learning experience. I utilize a variety of resources, including interactive activities, multimedia materials, and real-life conversation practice, to make each lesson dynamic and enjoyable.
My goal is to foster a supportive learning environment where students feel confident and motivated to reach their language goals, whether for personal growth, travel, or professional advancement. I am committed to helping my students not only learn a language but also embrace the culture and nuances that come with it.
Let’s embark on this language journey together!
