private session

One-on-one appointment

A private session is a meeting or appointment conducted one-on-one rather than in a group setting.

Therapists, tutors, and personal trainers offer private sessions for individualized attention: She booked a private session with the yoga instructor.

The term emphasizes confidentiality and exclusivity—what happens in a private session stays between the participants.
