Jiu-Jitsu classes are a great way to learn and practice with your fellow students; however, with private instruction, that time is 100% focused on developing your Jiu-Jitsu game and techniques. With a 1 on 1 session, your instructor will help you develop your own style and flow at a faster pace than a traditional class.
With a private lesson, you control the wheel and can suggest what techniques you find interesting that you wish to improve on. As with a traditional class, there is a set structure that may or may not be a technique you find helpful to your specific style.
Walking into a jiu-jitsu class as a newbie can be very intimidating, however working directly with your coach in a one on one environment can be a great way to get your feet wet and ease some of the initial anxiety down.
