What About Other Tutoring Websites?

We encourage you to be exposed to as much Urdu as possible, so it may be to your advantage to learn with us & to learn with other tutors, especially as language learning is time intensive. This also may give you exposure to various Urdu accents & ways of expression.

However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:

Most tutoring websites do not offer a free trial. We have a 30-minute free trial/demo/taster class available (in-person & online).
You will find some entry-level tutors available at a lower price point than ours. However, for well-trained, highly-rated tutors, their prices are consistently above our prices – particularly because they charge in US Dollar.
You may have to “try” several tutors before you find someone who is organized, structured, & helps you make progress. You will not have this worry with Zubaan tutors.
You may have communication or scheduling challenges. Our admin staff are professional, timely, & clear communicators, and we ensure the schedule is suitable & consistent for you.
