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.
How Private Lessons Work.
Starting should be simple. Tell us what you want to learn and why, and we’ll help you choose the right starting point, teacher, and lesson format.

02
Meet the Right Teacher.

03
Build Consistent Progress.
Your teacher adjusts the balance of speaking, listening, reading, writing, vocabulary, and grammar as you progress.
Built Around Your Goals.
No two private courses need to look the same. Depending on your language and objectives, lessons can emphasize one area or combine several.

Pronunciation & Listening.
Improve clarity, sound patterns, comprehension, and your ear for everyday speech.

I highly recommend the Hindi language courses at Zabaan! Yesterday I finished the Conversational Hindi course that was really useful and interesting! I was looking for a course that was focused on conversation because I had already studied Hindi at university, and this course was perfect for me! In addition to conversation, of course we also studied basic and important grammatical concepts. Vartika has always been very clear, professional, friendly, always ready to answer to our questions, ready to solve our doubts and able to create fun and useful educational activities at the same time. Bahot shukriya Vartika and Zabaan School! I hope I can join you again for another interesting course! Greetings from Italy!

I have lived in India for 10 years of my life and struggled to learn Hindi that entire time. Thanks to Zabaan's online classes, I finally have an opportunity to learn Hindi properly. I have tried every other method: Teach Yourself Hindi, a personal tutor, learning from friends, Duolingo, Drops, and Rosetta Stone. None of these has even come close to my experience with Zabaan. The Zabaan teachers really know what they are doing. Hindi instruction for foreign language speakers is difficult. It requires teaching (and reteaching) the Devanagari alphabet, pronunciation, minimal pairs, and other basics that my past teachers considered too boring to engage with. It requires an incredible amount of patience, as foreign language students like myself will struggle with pronunciation, listening, and even basic grammar comprehension for many months. It also requires that the teacher is both (a) able to use multiple teaching methods attuned to the different learning styles of multiple students and (b) reach into a deep knowledge of Hindi, Urdu, and Sanskrit to answer peculiar questions about the language that other Indic-language speakers are unlikely to ask. Teachers at Zabaan have proven capable in all these skills. They make their classes interesting and engaging. The online classes mean I can continue my Hindi education with them regardless of which city or country I am currently in. This is the system of Hindi instruction I have been in search of for over a decade and I will happily recommend Zabaan to anyone I meet who wants to learn Hindi.

I started learning hindi at Zabaan after a recommendation. It’s been amazing so far ! From the complete unknown i’ve picked up a huge amount along the way and still much more to learn. The structure of my lessons work great and i’m able to fit them in around my busy schedule. My teacher Ali is amazing, we cover all topics, tenses and focus on specific area I may be struggling on. Thoughtful learning ! Would definitely recommend.
