What every parent should know about IB MYP Science.
IB MYP Science is an interdisciplinary subject for students aged 11 to 16, balancing scientific inquiry with real-world contexts. It builds the skills and conceptual understanding students need before entering the IB Diploma Programme.
IB MYP Science is part of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme, covering Biology, Chemistry, and Physics within an integrated framework. It develops inquiry skills and prepares students for the rigour of the IB Diploma pathway.
Assessment combines internal school-based tasks and a final eAssessment for students in Year 5 of the MYP. Criteria A to D cover knowing and understanding, inquiring and designing, processing and evaluating, and reflecting on the impacts of science.
MYP Science builds year on year, so early support in Years 1 to 3 prevents gaps from compounding. By Year 4 and Year 5, students preparing for eAssessment or school examinations benefit most from targeted, structured sessions.
A group class can't do this.
Lessons built around the gaps
Your tutor identifies exactly which MYP Science criteria or topic is holding your child's grade back, then rebuilds from there.
Inquiry tasks done right
The tutor walks through real MYP inquiry tasks and criterion-based mark schemes so your child learns how marks are awarded.
Parents kept in the loop
After every session, you receive a concise progress note covering what was covered, what improved, and what comes next.
The programme that builds real scientific thinkers before the IB Diploma.
IB MYP Science is part of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme, designed for students aged 11 to 16. It integrates Biology, Chemistry, and Physics into one coherent subject, taught across five year groups in IB-authorised schools globally.
Assessment uses four criteria: Criterion A (knowing and understanding), Criterion B (inquiring and designing), Criterion C (processing and evaluating), and Criterion D (reflecting on impacts). Year 5 students may sit an eAssessment, with grades reported on a scale of 1 to 7.
Tuitional tutors map every session to the exact MYP Science unit and year group your child's school is running, so practice tasks and criterion feedback always reflect what teachers are actually marking.
What a one-to-one IB MYP Science lesson actually looks like.
Every session follows a tested four-phase structure: recap a prior concept, teach the target topic, apply it to a real MYP task, then review and set next steps. Nothing is wasted.

- 0-5 min
Recap and quick diagnostic
The tutor opens with two or three targeted questions from the previous session to confirm understanding and spot any lingering gaps before moving forward.
Example: A quick verbal check on the variables from last week's Criterion B inquiry design task on osmosis in plant cells.
- 5-25 min
Teach the target topic
The tutor explains the new concept using the MYP command terms and scientific vocabulary the student will need to score in Criterion A, breaking it into clear, logical steps.
Example: Teaching the structure and function of enzymes, using diagrams and MYP-style questions aligned to Criterion A for a Year 4 Biology unit.
- 25-50 min
Apply it to a real MYP task
The student completes a criterion-referenced task under guidance, with the tutor annotating responses against the MYP Science mark scheme to show exactly where marks are earned or lost.
Example: Drafting a Criterion C data analysis response for a chemistry experiment on rates of reaction, with feedback on scientific terminology and conclusion structure.
- 50-60 min
Review, set homework, report
The tutor summarises what was covered, agrees a short practice task for before the next session, and logs a progress note that is shared with the parent automatically.
Example: Setting a Criterion D reflection paragraph on the environmental impact of burning fossil fuels, ready to refine in the next session.
After the lesson
You receive a written session note covering the topic taught, the criteria practised, and any homework set. The session recording is saved to your account so your child can revisit any explanation at any time.

The subject that turns scientific curiosity into Diploma-ready skills.
IB MYP Science is set by the International Baccalaureate and taught across five year groups to students aged 11 to 16. It integrates Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, assessed through four criteria covering understanding, inquiry, data analysis, and real-world reflection.
Strong MYP Science grades support progression into IB Diploma sciences and signal readiness to competitive universities. One-to-one online tutoring helps students master the criterion-based approach that school lessons rarely have time to practise in depth.

Why families across the GCC trust Tuitional for IB MYP Science.
My daughter was really struggling with the Criterion B inquiry tasks in Year 3. After just six sessions her tutor had completely transformed how she approached experiments. She now plans her investigations independently and her school marks have improved noticeably. I wish we had found Tuitional sooner.
The tutor understood exactly which criteria my son was losing marks on and focused every session there. Within a month his Criterion A scores had jumped two grades. The weekly progress notes kept me fully informed without having to chase anyone.
I used to find the data analysis section really confusing. My tutor broke it down step by step using real MYP mark schemes and I finally understood what the criteria were actually asking for. Science is genuinely enjoyable now.
Scheduling was completely flexible around our busy week. We moved sessions twice with no fuss at all, and the tutor always came prepared with tasks matched exactly to what my son's school was covering that unit.
IB MYP Science tutoring — your questions, answered.
The things parents and students ask us most, in plain language.
?What does an IB MYP Science tutor actually help with?+
An IB MYP Science tutor helps your child master the four assessment criteria: knowing and understanding, inquiry design, data analysis, and reflecting on scientific impacts. Sessions target whichever criterion is costing the most marks, using real MYP-style tasks and school-specific unit content.
?Can the tutor match sessions to my child's exact school unit?+
Yes. Before the first session, the tutor maps lessons to the specific MYP Science unit, year group, and criteria your child's school is currently teaching. Nothing is generic — every task reflects what will actually be marked.
?How is IB MYP Science different from IGCSE Science?+
IB MYP Science uses criterion-referenced assessment across four criteria and emphasises inquiry and real-world connections. IGCSE Science uses tiered written examinations and coursework. MYP focuses on the process of science as much as the content, which requires a different study approach.
?What year groups do your IB MYP Science tutors cover?+
Tuitional tutors cover all five MYP year groups, from Year 1 through to Year 5. Whether your child needs support early in the programme or is preparing for the Year 5 eAssessment, we can match you with a tutor who knows that year group's expectations.
?How quickly can we get started with a tutor?+
Most families are matched with a suitable tutor within one working day of enquiring. Once matched, you book a trial session at a time that suits your schedule, with no long-term commitment required before you decide to continue.
?How much does IB MYP Science tutoring cost?+
MYP Science sessions are priced from AED 50 per hour. You can pay per session or choose a package — there is no lock-in and you can cancel at any time. Full pricing details are available on our tutoring packages page.
