IB Primary Years Programme
What Is the IB PYP?
The IB Primary Years Programme is an internationally recognised framework for children aged 3 to 12. It uses transdisciplinary Units of Inquiry to connect subjects across real-world themes, encouraging children to ask questions, think critically, and take ownership of their learning.
Talimat's PYP tutors understand how inquiry-based learning works in practice. Sessions are built around your child's current unit, not a generic worksheet. Strong foundations here set students up for the IB Middle Years Programme and, eventually, the IB Diploma.

Free trial · limited slots this weekBook your child's first IB PYP session at no cost. No card required.
IB PYP Framework · Six Subject Areas
Six subject areas. One connected framework that builds real thinkers.
The PYP does not teach subjects in isolation. Each Unit of Inquiry spans mathematics, literacy, science, social studies, arts, and PSPE through a shared central idea. A tutor who understands this framework can reinforce all six areas through a single, well-planned session.
Transdisciplinary themes — Six global themes connect every subject across the year.
Central ideas — Each unit is anchored to a big-picture concept, not a content checklist.
Lines of inquiry — Students explore three to four guiding questions per unit.
Learner portfolio — Progress is documented through an evidence-based portfolio, not a single exam.
Exhibition (Year 6) — PYP culminates in a student-led inquiry project assessed by the school.
How Our Online PYP Classes Work
Every session is live, 1:1, and structured around your child's current unit. No recordings, no group calls, no waiting for a response.
Live whiteboard
Tutors use an interactive whiteboard so young learners can write, draw, and annotate together in real time.
Shared reading tools
Shared reading and phonics tools support early literacy sessions, aligned to the texts your child's class is using.
Inquiry planning boards
Tutors map each session to the current Unit of Inquiry, so your child arrives at school the next day with stronger context.
Session notes sent home
After every session, a summary note is sent to the parent with what was covered and what to reinforce at home.
Parent visibility
Track which Units of Inquiry your child has covered, the tutor's session notes, and home-reinforcement suggestions — all in one place.
Flexible scheduling
Sessions run Monday to Saturday, Gulf Standard Time, with morning, afternoon, and evening slots available.

PARENT STORIES
What GCC families say about Talimat PYP tutoring
Families across the Gulf have made the switch to online PYP tutoring and found it fits their lives in ways they did not expect.
The school drop-off and pick-up used to eat two hours out of our afternoons. Once we switched to online tutoring with Talimat, my son actually had energy left to do his inquiry work properly. His Unit of Inquiry presentations have been noticeably stronger this term.
Outcome: Son moved from hesitant presenter to confident inquiry lead in one term.

Hessa A.
Jumeirah, Dubai · son Year 4 PYP
We tried a tutoring centre near school but the commute back afterwards meant my daughter arrived home exhausted. With Talimat she sits down at her desk, does the session, and still has time for her swimming practice. The tutor picks up exactly where school left off each week.
Outcome: Daughter now completes inquiry tasks independently after sessions.
RK
Rania K.
Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi · daughter Year 3 PYP
My son struggled with the mathematical thinking strand in his current unit. The tutor spent the first session figuring out exactly what the gap was and built from there. No generic worksheets. He actually asked if they could do an extra session this week.
Outcome: Son requested extra sessions after just two weeks.

Faisal M.
Riyadh, KSA · son Year 5 PYP
Getting a tutor who understands the PYP framework was harder than I expected until we found Talimat. Our daughter's tutor references the central idea in every session, which means school and home are finally saying the same things.
Outcome: School and home learning now fully aligned for the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions: IB PYP Online Tutoring
These are the questions GCC parents ask most often before booking a PYP tutor. If you do not see your question here, contact us and your Academic Consultant will respond within the hour.
The IB Primary Years Programme is a transdisciplinary framework for children aged 3 to 12. It connects six subject areas through shared Units of Inquiry. Tutoring supports PYP by reinforcing the central ideas and lines of inquiry your child explores each term in school.
Yes. Talimat tutors cover all six PYP subject areas: Language and Literacy, Mathematics, Science and Technology, Social Studies, Arts, and PSPE. Arabic mother tongue support and English as an Additional Language are also available.
At the start of each engagement, your tutor asks you to share the current unit title and central idea. Sessions are then planned around your child's specific lines of inquiry, so school and tutoring stay fully aligned.
All Talimat tutors hold a relevant degree in their subject area and pass a 14-step vetting process. PYP tutors are assessed on their knowledge of the IB framework, transdisciplinary teaching, and age-appropriate learning strategies.
Absolutely. Online tutoring runs from home, which means your child keeps their full school timetable including sport, music, drama, and any other extracurricular activities. Sessions slot around existing commitments, not instead of them.
Online tutoring does not replace school social time. Your child attends school as normal and socialises with classmates every day. Talimat sessions are short and focused, typically 45 to 60 minutes, and scheduled outside school hours.
Fill in the enquiry form on this page. We match your child with a vetted PYP tutor within 10 minutes. The first session is free and no payment card is required at the time of booking.
Sessions run Monday to Saturday, Gulf Standard Time, with morning, afternoon, and evening availability. This covers families in the UAE, KSA, Qatar, Oman, and Kuwait across different schedules.
Contact us and we will re-match your child with a tutor familiar with the new school's unit sequence. The transition is handled by your Academic Consultant at no additional cost.
IB PYP tutoring at Talimat starts from AED 30 per hour for Grades 1 to 6. There is no enrolment deposit and you can cancel anytime with no hidden fees.
Yes. Year 6 PYP Exhibition preparation is one of our most requested services. Tutors help students define their central idea, structure their lines of inquiry, and prepare their presentation with confidence.
Talimat serves families in the UAE, KSA, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and across 10 or more countries. All sessions are delivered online, so location within the GCC does not affect availability.
What GCC Parents Should Know Before Year 6 PYP Exhibition
The PYP Exhibition is the most significant assessment in the Primary Years Programme. It asks students to lead their own inquiry independently. Here is what that means in practice and how a tutor changes the outcome.
The IB PYP Exhibition takes place in Year 6 and requires each student to identify a real-world issue, frame a central idea, develop lines of inquiry, and present their findings to an audience that includes teachers, parents, and peers.
For many GCC families, this is the first time their child faces an open-ended, self-directed assessment with no fixed right answer. Schools support the process, but class sizes mean individual guidance is limited. A 1:1 tutor fills that gap directly.
Strong PYP foundations across earlier year groups, particularly in mathematical thinking and written communication, make the Exhibition significantly more manageable. IB tutoring through Talimat builds those foundations progressively, not just in Year 6.
Key takeaways
- PYP Exhibition is self-directed and assessed on inquiry quality, not content recall.
- 1:1 tutoring provides the individual guidance schools cannot always offer.
- Early PYP support in literacy and maths directly improves Exhibition readiness.
- Talimat tutors can support the full Exhibition process from idea to presentation.
- Sessions align to your child's school unit, keeping home and school consistent.
