About this subject

SABIS World Language: what parents should know.

SABIS World Language courses at High School level develop reading, writing, listening and speaking across a structured, assessment-driven programme. Strong language results support university admissions across the GCC and beyond.

What it is

SABIS World Language is a structured language pathway taught in SABIS-affiliated schools globally. At High School level it builds on lower-school foundations, developing academic language skills needed for senior examinations and university entry.

How it is graded

Assessment in the SABIS programme combines periodic in-school examinations with cumulative subject-knowledge checks. Grading reflects mastery across the four core skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking, weighted according to the school's academic plan.

When exams happen

SABIS schools run their own internal examination series throughout the academic year, with major assessments typically aligned to term-end periods. Students preparing for SABIS High School World Language exams benefit from starting structured practice well before each series.

Why one-to-one

A group class can't do this.

Lessons built around your child's gaps

Every session targets the specific vocabulary sets, grammar structures or skills that are capping your child's SABIS World Language grade.

Real SABIS past-paper technique

Tutors work through SABIS-style examination questions under timed conditions, then review the mark schemes so students see exactly what full-mark answers look like.

Parents kept in the loop

After every session you get a concise note covering what was covered, what improved, and what the next session will address.

What is the SABIS High School programme?

A rigorous, structured curriculum used in schools across the GCC and worldwide.

SABIS High School World Language is part of the proprietary SABIS Educational System, delivered in SABIS-network schools globally. The programme teaches language at an academic level suited to students in Grades 9 through 12, covering all four core language skills.

Assessment follows the SABIS periodic exam model, with students graded on cumulative subject knowledge throughout the year. Results feed directly into school-leaving qualifications and university progression pathways recognised by institutions across the GCC, Europe, and North America.

Every Tuitional tutor maps sessions directly to the SABIS syllabus sequence the student's school follows, so lessons reinforce exactly what is being taught in class rather than running ahead or behind the school's academic plan.

Inside a lesson

What a one-to-one SABIS World Language lesson actually looks like.

Every session follows a tested four-phase structure: recap, teach, apply, and review. Each phase has a clear purpose so no time is wasted.

Book a trial lesson

A typical 60-minute session

  1. 0–5 min

    Recap and quick diagnostic

    The tutor starts with two or three quick questions to gauge retention from last session and spot any lingering gaps before introducing new material.

    Example: The tutor asks the student to recall five vocabulary items from the SABIS Unit 4 word list and use each in a sentence to confirm active recall.

  2. 5–25 min

    Teach the target topic

    The tutor teaches or deepens the lesson's core language point using the SABIS academic sequence, with clear explanations, worked examples and guided practice.

    Example: Teaching the use of the subjunctive mood in formal written French, aligned to the SABIS High School grammar progression for Grade 10.

  3. 25–50 min

    Apply to SABIS-style exam questions

    The student attempts SABIS-format questions under exam conditions, then the tutor reviews the answers against the mark scheme, explaining what sets a full-mark response apart.

    Example: Completing a SABIS periodic-exam style reading comprehension passage and a short written response task, then reviewing common errors in answer structure.

  4. 50–60 min

    Review, set homework, write report

    The tutor recaps what was achieved, agrees two or three homework tasks to consolidate the session, and logs the session report for the parent.

    Example: Homework set to write a 150-word formal letter using the target grammar point, submitted via the platform before the next session.

After the lesson

You receive a parent report covering what was taught, how your child performed and what comes next — and homework is set in the portal with a due date before the next session.

Parent Feedback

Why families across the GCC trust Tuitional for SABIS tutoring.

My daughter was struggling with her SABIS French periodics and her confidence was really low. After eight sessions with her Tuitional tutor, she scored her highest mark of the year. The tutor knew exactly how the SABIS exam questions are structured, which made all the difference.

I appreciated how the tutor matched every session to exactly what my son was covering in class. No wasted time on irrelevant topics. His periodic scores improved within the first month.

SASalma Al-HarthiAbu Dhabi, UAE
★★★★★

I used to dread my SABIS English periodics. My tutor made the writing tasks feel manageable and helped me understand what the mark scheme was actually looking for. I felt genuinely prepared.

FAFaisal Al-AmriRiyadh, KSA
★★★★★

Flexible scheduling was a huge plus. We booked sessions around football practice and still fitted in three lessons a week before the periodic exams. My son's language grade went from a C to a B.

Your questions answered

SABIS World Language tutoring — your questions, answered.

The things parents and students ask us most, in plain language.

?Do your tutors know the SABIS periodic exam format?+

Yes. Tuitional's SABIS World Language tutors are trained on the periodic examination structure used across SABIS-network schools. They align every session to the mark scheme and question types your child will actually face, not a generic language syllabus.

?Can the tutor follow my child's exact school syllabus sequence?+

Yes. At the start of tutoring we ask for the current unit and upcoming periodic topic. The tutor maps lessons directly to that sequence so sessions reinforce what the school is teaching right now, not content covered weeks ago.

?How many sessions a week does my child need?+

Most SABIS High School students start with one or two sessions per week. In the run-up to a periodic examination, families often add a third session for focused past-paper practice. Your tutor will recommend a schedule based on the gaps identified.

?What languages does the SABIS World Language programme cover?+

SABIS World Language commonly covers English, French, Arabic, and Spanish depending on the school. When you book, tell us which language your child studies and we will match them with a specialist tutor for that specific language.

?Will sessions be recorded so my child can review them?+

Yes. Every Tuitional session is recorded and available for your child to review at any time through the platform. Recordings are useful for revisiting explanations before a periodic exam.

?How do I see my child's progress between sessions?+

After every session the tutor submits a written note covering what was taught, what improved, and what the next session will address. You also receive monthly progress reports and have access to session-wise analytics through the Tuitional platform.
