What parents should know about SABIS PE.
SABIS High School Physical Education combines practical fitness skills with theoretical knowledge of health, sport science, and human movement. Understanding both sides is essential for students aiming to perform well across assessments.
SABIS High School PE is a structured programme covering physical fitness, sport science, and health education. It runs through the secondary years and forms part of the SABIS curriculum pathway, preparing students for active, healthy lifestyles and academic progression.
Under the SABIS programme, assessment blends practical performance evaluations with written tests on theory such as anatomy, exercise physiology and sports skills. Because marks fall across both practical and written elements, steady preparation in each is essential.
SABIS runs its internal assessments throughout the academic year on a periodic schedule, so students usually face practical evaluations each term alongside written tests. Starting focused preparation early in the year gives the best chance of strong performance across every assessment period.
A group class cannot cover this ground.
Lessons targeted at your child's gaps
Every session focuses on the exact SABIS PE topics holding your child's grade back, whether that is exercise physiology theory, biomechanics, or practical skill technique.
Theory and practical technique together
Tutors walk through past SABIS assessment questions and the mark-scheme criteria, so students see exactly how to structure written answers and demonstrate skills well.
Parents updated after every session
After each lesson, parents get a concise note covering the PE topics covered, what improved, and what the next session will address.
Physical education with rigorous academic depth.
SABIS High School Physical Education is delivered under the SABIS curriculum framework for secondary students. It covers both practical fitness activities and theoretical content, giving students a rounded understanding of health, human movement, and sport science.
Assessment combines written tests on theory topics with practical performance evaluations. SABIS uses its own internal grading system, with periodic assessments across the school year measuring progress in both the academic and physical components of the subject.
One-to-one lessons follow the exact SABIS PE syllabus sequence your child's school uses, so every session directly supports upcoming assessments. Tutors align to the specific topics and skill areas tested in each periodic evaluation cycle.
What a one-to-one SABIS PE lesson actually looks like.
Every session follows a tested four-phase structure: recap, teach, apply, and review. Each phase is timed so the full hour stays focused and productive.
Book a trial lessonA typical 60-minute session
- 0-5 min
Recap and quick diagnostic
The tutor opens with two or three quick questions to check what the student retained from the previous session and identify any gaps before moving forward.
Example: The tutor asks the student to explain the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration as it relates to exercise intensity, checking retention from the prior lesson.
- 5-25 min
Teach the target topic
The tutor introduces or deepens the session's focus topic using clear explanations, diagrams where helpful, and real sport examples that connect theory to physical performance.
Example: Covering the SABIS PE unit on the musculoskeletal system, the tutor explains how muscles work in antagonistic pairs during a sprint, using a labelled diagram on the shared whiteboard.
- 25-50 min
Apply to SABIS assessment questions
The student attempts SABIS-style written questions and practical scenario problems while the tutor provides live feedback on structure, accuracy, and mark-scheme alignment.
Example: The student answers a SABIS periodic test question asking them to describe the short-term effects of exercise on the cardiovascular system, with the tutor marking against the expected response criteria.
- 50-60 min
Review, set homework, report
The tutor summarises what was covered, highlights what to practise before the next session, and sends a written lesson note to the parent within 24 hours.
Example: The student is set a short written task on the FITT principle and asked to self-assess a training programme against those criteria before the next lesson.
After the lesson
Parents receive a written report covering the topics taught, progress observed and next steps. The recording is available to review any time, and the student gets a resource pack of notes, a curriculum mapper and flashcards for the topics covered.

Physical education with real academic and practical rigour.
SABIS High School Physical Education is set by the SABIS curriculum board for secondary students. It spans practical sport and fitness skills alongside written theory, assessed through internal periodic tests and practical evaluations across the school year.
Students who perform well understand both sides of the subject. One-to-one tutoring targets the theory gaps that written assessments expose, while also building the analytical skills needed to describe and evaluate physical performance accurately.

Why families across the GCC trust Tuitional for SABIS PE.
My son struggled with the theory side of SABIS PE for two full terms. Within six weeks of starting sessions with his Tuitional tutor, his periodic test scores improved noticeably. The tutor made exercise physiology actually make sense, and my son's confidence in class completely changed.
Scheduling was so straightforward. We are based in Abu Dhabi and my daughter's tutor works around school hours perfectly. The weekly progress notes give me real visibility into what she is learning.
I never thought I would enjoy studying PE theory, but my tutor made the musculoskeletal system and training principles genuinely interesting. My SABIS periodic test score jumped a full grade after just four sessions.
We moved from Dubai to Riyadh mid-year and I was worried about keeping up with the SABIS syllabus. Tuitional matched us with a tutor within two days and the sessions picked up exactly where we left off.
SABIS PE tutoring, your questions answered.
The things parents and students ask us most, in plain language.
?Do your tutors follow the exact SABIS PE syllabus?+
Yes. Every lesson is mapped directly to the SABIS Physical Education syllabus your child's school uses. Tutors match each session to the specific units and the periodic-assessment topics scheduled for your child's year group, so nothing covered in the lesson drifts from what is actually being tested.
?Can tutoring help with both the theory and practical parts of SABIS PE?+
Yes, though online sessions naturally focus on the theory and written assessment components. Tutors cover exercise physiology, anatomy, biomechanics, health concepts, and SABIS-style written question technique. For practical elements, tutors can coach analytical understanding of movement and performance that supports practical evaluations.
?How quickly can we start SABIS PE lessons?+
Most families are matched with a tutor and have their first session booked within two working days of contacting us. If your child has a periodic assessment coming up soon, let us know and we will prioritise the match accordingly.
?What happens if my child doesn't connect with the first tutor?+
We offer a free re-match if the initial tutor pairing does not feel right. Getting the tutor-student relationship correct is important to us, and we will find a better fit at no extra cost or hassle.
?Are sessions recorded so my child can review them later?+
Every session is recorded and accessible to the student and parent at any time through the platform. Students can revisit explanations before a SABIS periodic test, and the recording sits alongside lesson notes, flashcards, and curriculum resources in their account.
?How do lessons work if we move between GCC countries mid-year?+
Because all sessions are live and online, nothing changes when your family relocates. The tutor, lesson content, and scheduling remain exactly the same. Simply update your time zone preference in the platform and sessions continue without any disruption to your child's SABIS PE preparation.
