IB Middle Years Programme
What is the IB MYP?
The IB Middle Years Programme runs from MYP Year 1 through to MYP Year 5, typically covering ages 11 to 16. It is offered at IB World Schools globally and assessed through criterion-referenced rubrics across eight subject groups, rather than norm-referenced exams.
Unlike a single-subject exam board, the MYP asks students to connect ideas across disciplines and demonstrate their thinking through summative tasks and, in Year 5, the Personal Project. Talimat's IB tutoring supports both the day-to-day subject demands and the broader skills MYP rewards.

MYP Assessment Framework
Four criteria. One consistent rubric your child must master to score 7.
Every MYP subject is assessed on Criteria A, B, C, and D, each worth up to 8 marks. The final grade on the 1-7 scale is calculated from these combined criterion scores. Understanding what each descriptor requires is where most students lose marks, and where targeted 1:1 tutoring makes the biggest difference.
Criteria A-D — Every subject has four assessment criteria, each scored 0-8 by the class teacher.
Grade boundaries — The combined criterion total maps to a final grade on the 1-7 MYP scale.
Summative tasks — Schools set their own summative tasks; our tutors help students prepare for the specific format used at their school.
eAssessment — MYP Year 5 students at some schools sit IB-set eAssessment exams; our tutors cover both the on-screen format and the subject content.
Personal Project — A standalone Year 5 requirement graded by an external moderator, worth a separate MYP certificate award.

Parent stories
Families across the GCC choose Talimat for MYP tutoring.
We hear the same thing often. The school timetable is packed, the MYP criteria feel abstract, and finding a tutor who actually knows the programme is harder than it should be.
We moved from Singapore to Dubai mid-year and my son was completely lost with how his new school assessed the MYP. His Talimat tutor understood the rubric inside out and within a few sessions he knew exactly what his teacher was looking for in every criterion.
Outcome: Student moved from a grade 4 to a grade 6 in MYP Sciences within one term.

Priya M.
Jumeirah, Dubai · son MYP Year 4
My daughter does competitive swimming six days a week. Finding a tutor who could work around her training schedule felt impossible until we tried Talimat. She books sessions on Saturday evenings and the tutor is always prepared for exactly where she is in her unit.
Outcome: Consistent MYP session schedule maintained around a full athletics programme.
KA
Khalid A.
Al Khobar, KSA · daughter MYP Year 3
The Personal Project completely overwhelmed my son. He had no idea where to start with the process journal. His tutor broke it down into small weekly tasks and by the end he was proud of what he had produced. That was not something I expected.
Outcome: Personal Project submitted on time and awarded a grade 6 by the external moderator.

What parents should know before starting MYP tutoring
The MYP is not a traditional exam-based curriculum. Students are assessed continuously through criterion-referenced tasks set by their own teachers. That means the right tutor needs to understand not just the subject but how the MYP rubric works in practice.
The IB Middle Years Programme assesses students on four criteria per subject, each scored independently. A student can know the content well and still score low if they don't address the specific descriptor their teacher is marking against.
In the GCC, MYP is offered at IB World Schools in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Doha, and Muscat. Each school sets its own summative tasks within IB guidelines, so a tutor who knows the programme framework can coach your child for the exact format their school uses.
- MYP Year 5 students may sit IB eAssessment and complete the Personal Project for a separate MYP certificate.
- The 1 to 7 grading scale is criterion-based, not norm-referenced.
- All eight subject groups are assessed; no subject can be ignored in the final year.
Key takeaways
- MYP grades depend on criterion descriptors, not just subject knowledge.
- Tutors must know the specific rubric for each subject group.
- Personal Project is a standalone Year 5 requirement with external moderation.
- GCC schools set their own summative tasks within the IB framework.
- eAssessment in Year 5 follows a specific on-screen format requiring targeted prep.
