SABIS Elementary
What Is the SABIS Elementary Programme?
SABIS is a proprietary curriculum used across schools in the UAE, KSA, Qatar, and beyond. At Elementary level, covering roughly Grades 1 to 6, the programme structures learning through Subject Learning Objectives (SLOs) tested in frequent Subject Mastery Checks rather than traditional term exams.
Because SABIS uses its own internal scoring and progress-tracking system, generic tutoring rarely helps. Talimat matches your child with tutors who understand the SLO framework and can work through the specific objectives your child has not yet mastered, building the foundation they will need heading into Middle School.

SABIS SLO Framework · Grades 1-6
One missed SLO. A gap that compounds every week. We close it before it grows.
SABIS Elementary moves through Subject Learning Objectives in a fixed sequence. If a child misses a concept in one mastery check, the next SLO block builds on it. Our tutors isolate exactly where the gap started and rebuild from there, session by session.
SLO targeting — Each session focuses on the specific objectives your child's school is assessing that week.
Mastery check prep — Tutors run practice drills in the same format as SABIS Subject Mastery Checks.
English and Arabic support — We cover both English-medium and Arabic-medium SABIS subject streams.
Progress tracking — Parents receive a summary after every session showing which SLOs have been covered.
Continuity on rotation — If your family relocates mid-year, your tutor continues online with no disruption.
How Our Online Classes Work for SABIS Students
Every session is live and 1:1, built around the SLO your child needs to master this week, not a pre-recorded module.
Live 1:1 sessions
Every lesson is a live, private session between your child and a single tutor. No group classes, no recorded replays passed off as teaching.
Interactive whiteboard
Tutors use a shared digital whiteboard to work through SABIS Maths problems, English exercises, and Science diagrams in real time.
SLO session planner
Before each session, your tutor reviews the current SLO block and plans the lesson around your child's specific gap, not a generic chapter.
Session recordings
Sessions are recorded so your child can revisit explanations when revising for Subject Mastery Checks later in the week.
Parent progress notes
After every lesson, parents receive a short written note covering what was practised, what improved, and what to focus on next.
24/7 academic support
Our academic support team is available around the clock to answer questions, reschedule sessions, or adjust tutor matching.

PARENT STORIES
What SABIS families say about tutoring with Talimat
These are real accounts from parents whose children attend SABIS schools across the GCC. Each family had a different starting point, but the same concern: their child was getting lost in the pace of the programme.
My son was keeping up in class but the mastery checks kept catching him out. Once we started sessions with his Talimat tutor, he finally understood what the SLOs actually expected of him. His scores improved within three weeks.
Outcome: Mastery check scores improved within three weeks of starting sessions.
MA
Mona A.
Dubai, UAE · son in Grade 4 SABIS
We moved from Qatar to Abu Dhabi mid-year and my daughter was behind on several SLO blocks from her previous school. Her tutor picked up exactly where the gaps were and worked through them without making her feel like she had failed. She caught up faster than we expected.
Outcome: Caught up on multiple missed SLO blocks after a mid-year school move.
FR
Fatima R.
Abu Dhabi, UAE · daughter Grade 3 SABIS
The class at school has almost thirty children. My son is shy and he would never put his hand up when he did not understand something. Having one tutor entirely focused on him changed everything. He actually asks questions now.
Outcome: Student confidence in class improved after consistent 1:1 attention.
KN
Khalid N.
Riyadh, KSA · son Grade 5 SABIS
I was not sure online tutoring would work for a Grade 2 child but the sessions are short, focused, and the tutor keeps him engaged. The parent notes after each lesson are genuinely useful, not just a box-ticking exercise.
Outcome: Parent reported genuine engagement in sessions for a Grade 2 student.

Frequently Asked Questions: SABIS Elementary Tutoring
Parents at SABIS schools across the UAE, KSA, and Oman ask us these questions regularly. The answers below reflect how our tutoring actually works for Elementary-level students on the SABIS programme.
SABIS uses Subject Mastery Checks rather than traditional term exams. Students are assessed on Subject Learning Objectives (SLOs) at regular intervals throughout the term, and scores reflect mastery of those specific objectives rather than a broader end-of-term paper.
When you sign up, you share your child's grade, school, and the subjects they need support in. We match you with a vetted tutor who knows the SABIS SLO framework for that grade. Most families receive a match within 10 minutes of enquiring.
SABIS Elementary typically covers Grades 1 through 6, though the exact structure can vary slightly by school. Talimat supports students across this full range, from early literacy and numeracy in Grade 1 through to the more advanced SLO blocks in Grade 6.
Yes. If your child's class teacher has flagged a specific SLO or set of objectives, share that information when you book. Your tutor will plan the session around those exact objectives and run practice exercises in the same format as the school's mastery checks.
Most families have their first session booked on the same day they enquire. After you complete a short sign-up, we match a tutor and you choose a session time. Your first 30-minute trial session is free.
Talimat tutors cover all core SABIS Elementary subjects: English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Arabic Language, French Language, Islamic Studies, and Computer Skills. Additional subjects are available on request.
Yes. Talimat has tutors who can support students on Arabic-medium SABIS subject streams, including Arabic Language and Islamic Studies delivered in Arabic. Confirm your child's language of instruction when you sign up so we match accordingly.
Yes. Because all sessions are online, your child's tutor continues without interruption regardless of which GCC country you move to. There is no need to re-enrol or find a new tutor. Sessions run in Gulf Standard Time and your SABIS Elementary progress carries straight on.
There is no minimum session commitment. You can book individual sessions or a weekly plan and cancel at any time. There are no enrolment deposits and no hidden fees.
SABIS Elementary tutoring at Talimat starts from AED 30 per hour for Grades 1 to 8. There are no enrolment deposits or hidden fees, and you can cancel anytime. Your Academic Consultant will walk you through session frequency options before you commit.
Yes. Sessions are recorded and available through your parent dashboard. Your child can replay a tutor's explanation when revising for an upcoming mastery check, which is particularly useful in the days before a Subject Mastery Check.
After every session, your parent dashboard updates with written notes from the tutor. These notes cover which SLOs were practised, what your child understood well, and what to focus on before the next session. Your assigned Academic Consultant also checks in regularly.
Why SABIS Elementary students need specialist tutoring support
The SABIS programme does not work like most school curricula. Its SLO-based assessment model means gaps accumulate week by week rather than surfacing at a single end-of-term exam. This section explains what that means for your child and how targeted 1:1 support changes the outcome.
SABIS Elementary schools across the GCC, including sites in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, and Muscat, use a structured SLO sequence where each new objective assumes the previous one has been mastered.
When a child misses a concept, every subsequent block becomes harder.
A specialist tutor does something a busy classroom cannot: they stop, find the exact point of confusion, and rebuild from there. For SABIS families, this means a tutor who targets this week's SLO, not a generic chapter from a textbook.
- SABIS Elementary runs from Grade 1 to Grade 6 across most GCC schools.
- Subject Mastery Checks happen regularly throughout the term, not just at reporting periods.
- Both English-medium and Arabic-medium subject streams are supported by Talimat tutors.
- Online sessions continue uninterrupted if your family relocates mid-year.
Key takeaways
- SABIS uses SLOs tested in frequent mastery checks, not traditional term exams.
- Gaps compound quickly because each SLO block builds on the last.
- Talimat tutors know the SABIS framework and target your child's specific objectives.
- Sessions are live, 1:1, and continue online even if you move country mid-year.
- Starting from AED 30/hour with no enrolment deposit and cancel anytime.
