Private 1:1 Language Lessons.
Learn at your pace with one teacher focused entirely on you. Zabaan’s private lessons are built around your language, current level, goals, availability, and preferred pace—online worldwide or in person at our New Delhi centre.
Why Choose Private Lessons.
Private instruction is the best fit when you want the course to adapt to you—not the other way around. Your teacher can spend more time on what you need, move quickly through what you already know, and adjust the lesson plan as your goals develop.
Built Around Your Goals.
Conversation, literacy, grammar, travel, research, professional communication, heritage learning, or a combination of several priorities.
Adapted to Your Pace.
Spend more time on difficult areas and move faster through material you already control. The course can evolve as your ability grows.
Designed for Your Schedule.
Private lessons provide far more scheduling flexibility than a fixed group course, making them practical for work, study, travel, and changing routines.

Build Consistent Progress.

The experience at Zabaan was beyond expectations. The lessons were well structured and formatted for easy comprehension. Ms Rachayta, the instructor, approach was very systematic, professional and amiable. Her knowledge and proficiency in Hindi and English are impressive. I look forward to continuing my studies with this esteemed institution.

I have been learning English with Zabaan for the past two years. Before delving into my review, I must acknowledge that my relationship with English was far from satisfactory. In the past, I attempted to learn from various sources, including a few other esteemed institutions, but none could effectively address my struggles with the language. When I felt that learning English had become an insurmountable challenge, my friend Malini recommended Zabaan School for Languages. Intrigued by their website, I contacted Zabaan and commenced my English lessons with Ali. Prior to this, I had not watched a single English movie, series, or documentary because I simply could not understand anything they were say. Ali encouraged me to explore suitable English content, and initially he met with my resistance. However, he consistently motivated me, providing compelling reasons to watch various interesting shows. While many people turn to Ali for language learning, my experience with with him also evolved into a personal and spiritual journey. Ali Taqi is a deeply knowledgeable person and I'm sure anyone who has come into contact with him would agree with the same. I will forever cherish this enriching experience. Zabaan was more language school, it was a place of higher learning. Throughout this journey, I discovered aspects about myself and the world that I had never known. Although my formal education with Zabaan may conclude soon, my learning will be perpetual. As an Urdu storyteller, I know the nuances of language, and Ali's exceptional way of explaining things never cease to amaze me. Heartfelt thanks to my ustad Ali, and to Zabaan in general, for this transformative experience. I am officially an English speaker and I can not tell you how happy I am for it. To anyone aspiring to learn a language, Zabaan is the best in world.

I took 90 hours of Hindi at Zabaan and was very happy about about the course; my teachers Anshu, Rachayta, Tamanna & Anita were incredibly helpful and would answer all my questions, and the course was very complete and well explained. I enjoyed coming everyday to take my Hindi classes. Keziah was as well helpful coordinating classes & schedule changes, and Meena ji was very kind. I miss coming to Zabaan on a daily basis to learn Hindi! I can only warmly recommend taking classes from Zabaan.
