What every parent should know about SABIS Elementary Science.
SABIS Elementary Science covers core scientific concepts across the life, physical and earth sciences for primary-level students. Knowing what the curriculum expects at each grade helps families support their child effectively.
SABIS Elementary Science is the primary-level science strand within the SABIS international curriculum. It introduces students in Grades 1 to 5 to structured scientific thinking across three broad domains: living things, matter and energy, and the physical world.
Assessment in SABIS Elementary Science combines regular in-school tests, periodic exams, and continuous progress tracking through the SABIS Academic Monitoring System. Scores are used to identify knowledge gaps early so targeted support can follow quickly.
Many families start one-to-one support when periodic exam results flag a gap, or when a new topic causes confusion. Starting before a term exam leaves enough time to consolidate understanding and practise question technique at the right level.
A group class can't do this.
Lessons built around the exact gap
Your child's tutor pinpoints the precise SABIS topic causing difficulty and teaches straight to that gap, not a generic chapter.
Real SABIS exam technique
Tutors work through SABIS periodic exam question styles so your child knows exactly what to expect and how to answer under timed conditions.
Parents kept in the loop
After every session you receive a brief progress note covering what was covered, what improved, and what to focus on next.
The structured science programme powering SABIS primary schools across the GCC.
SABIS Elementary Science is the primary-level science curriculum delivered by SABIS Network Schools worldwide, including across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and wider GCC. It covers Grades 1 to 5 and introduces systematic scientific inquiry from an early age.
Assessment follows the SABIS Academic Monitoring System, which uses regular periodic tests mapped to specific learning objectives. Students receive scores that indicate mastery level per topic, making gaps visible early and giving tutors a clear starting point.
Every Tuitional session follows the exact syllabus objectives the student's school uses, so lesson content aligns directly with the next periodic exam. Tutors are familiar with SABIS question styles and marking expectations at elementary level.
What a one-to-one SABIS Elementary Science lesson actually looks like.
Every session follows a tested four-phase structure: recap what was missed, teach the target concept, apply it to exam-style questions, then review and set homework. Nothing is left to chance.
Book a trial lessonA typical 60-minute session
- 0–5 min
Recap and quick diagnostic
The tutor starts with two or three quick questions to confirm what the student recalls from last time and to spot any new confusion before teaching begins.
Example: Reviewing whether the student can name the three states of matter and give a real-life example of each, before moving on to changes of state.
- 5–25 min
Teach the target topic
The tutor explains the SABIS lesson objective using simple language, diagrams, and real-world examples matched to the student's grade level and current unit.
Example: Explaining the water cycle using a labelled diagram, linking evaporation and condensation to everyday events like puddles drying after rain.
- 25–50 min
Apply it to SABIS-style questions
The student works through questions that mirror SABIS periodic-exam formats while the tutor guides technique, explains mark-scheme expectations and clears up misconceptions in real time.
Example: Answering structured questions on food chains, identifying producers, consumers, and decomposers using the vocabulary expected in SABIS periodic tests.
- 50–60 min
Review, set homework, report
The tutor recaps what was covered, confirms the student's understanding, and sets a short practice task to reinforce the lesson before the next session.
Example: Setting five labelling questions on the parts of a plant, matching the terminology used in the student's SABIS textbook.
After the lesson
You receive a written note covering the topic taught, the student's progress, any remaining gaps and the homework set. The full recording is also saved, so your child can review it at any time.

Building scientific foundations that carry students through every SABIS grade ahead.
SABIS Elementary Science is the structured primary-level science programme taught across SABIS Network Schools in the GCC and internationally. It runs across Grades 1 to 5 and is assessed through the SABIS Academic Monitoring System via regular periodic tests.
Each periodic exam is mapped to specific learning objectives, so gaps are visible quickly. One-to-one online tutoring targets those gaps directly, keeping your child on track with their school's exact SABIS Science syllabus throughout the year.

Why families across the GCC trust Tuitional for SABIS Science.
My daughter was struggling with the SABIS periodic science tests every term. After just a few sessions with her Tuitional tutor, she started scoring in the top five of her class. The tutor explained concepts so clearly and always linked them back to what her school was actually testing.
I was worried about my son falling behind in SABIS Science. His tutor is patient, reliable, and always sends a note after each session. I finally feel like I know where he stands and what we're working towards.
I used to find science really confusing but my tutor makes everything easy to understand. We go through all the SABIS topics step by step and I feel so much more confident going into my periodic exams now.
We started tutoring halfway through the term and our son jumped up two grades in his next SABIS Science periodic test. Flexible scheduling made it easy to fit around his activities too.
SABIS Elementary Science tutoring — your questions, answered.
The things parents ask us most, answered in plain language.
?Do your tutors know the SABIS Elementary Science syllabus?+
Yes. Every tutor who covers SABIS Elementary Science is trained on the SABIS Academic Monitoring System and the specific learning objectives tested at each grade. They teach to the same topics and vocabulary your child's school uses, not a generic science programme.
?What grades does SABIS Elementary Science cover?+
SABIS Elementary Science covers Grades 1 to 5, typically for students aged 6 to 11. Our tutors support all year levels within this range and adjust the session content to match the exact unit your child's class is studying at the time.
?How quickly will my child see improvement in SABIS Science?+
Most students notice increased confidence within the first three to four sessions. Measurable score improvements on SABIS periodic tests typically follow within one to two terms, depending on the size of the gap and how regularly sessions take place.
?Are sessions available after school and at weekends?+
Yes. Tuitional tutors are available Sunday to Friday across Gulf time zones, with many slots available between 4 PM and 9 PM GST to fit around a typical school day. Weekend morning slots are also available with most tutors.
?Is there a contract or minimum number of sessions required?+
No contract is required. You can pay per session or choose a package for better value, and you can cancel or pause at any time. Visit our tutoring packages page for a full breakdown of the options available to your family.
?What happens if my child doesn't get on with their tutor?+
If the first tutor pairing isn't the right fit, we offer a free re-match at no extra cost. Our AI-powered matching system considers your child's learning style and pace, but we know that human chemistry matters and we'll get it right.
