Why SABIS Elementary English is harder than it looks
The SABIS English curriculum moves faster than most parents expect. By Grade 3, students are writing structured paragraphs and identifying grammatical structures in unseen texts. This section explains what makes each stage demanding and what a 1:1 tutor changes.
The SABIS Point System breaks English into precise, sequential objectives. A student who misses one objective in phonics or sentence construction carries that gap into the next unit.
A live 1:1 tutor can identify exactly which Point System objective is unresolved and address it directly, something a classroom of 25 students cannot accommodate.
For families in the GCC following the SABIS Elementary English curriculum, online tutoring means consistent support without the logistics of commuting, and sessions can be scheduled Monday to Saturday in Gulf Standard Time.
Key takeaways
- SABIS English progresses by specific Point System objectives, not general topics
- Gaps in phonics or grammar compound quickly across grade levels
- A 1:1 tutor targets the exact unresolved objective, not the whole chapter
- Sessions run Monday to Saturday in Gulf Standard Time for GCC families
- Progress is tracked on the parent dashboard after every live session
Live sessions versus guesswork: how our tutoring works
From the first session, your child's tutor works directly from the SABIS Point System objectives for their grade. Every step is visible to you on the parent dashboard.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your questions about SABIS Elementary English tutoring
Everything GCC parents ask before booking a SABIS English session with Talimat.
How does a Talimat tutor know which SABIS English objectives my child needs?
During the first session, the tutor reviews your child's most recent SABIS assessment scores and identifies which Point System objectives are incomplete. Every subsequent session targets those specific gaps rather than covering the whole unit again.
Do your tutors use the actual SABIS English textbooks and workbooks?
Yes. Tutors work with the SABIS English course materials for the relevant grade, including the textbook exercises and workbook tasks your child is already using at school. Sessions reinforce the same content, not a parallel curriculum.
My child is in Grade 2 and falling behind on phonics. Can you help?
Absolutely. Phonics and decoding are foundational SABIS Point System objectives in Grades 1 and 2. The tutor will identify exactly which letter-sound correspondences or blending skills need attention and work through them in a structured sequence.
What is the difference between a live session and recorded content?
All Talimat sessions are live and 1:1. There is no recorded or asynchronous content. Your child works directly with the tutor in real time, which means the tutor can respond to errors, explain a rule differently, and adapt the session immediately.
Can I see what was covered in each SABIS English session?
Yes. The parent dashboard is updated after every session with a summary of which Point System objectives were addressed, what progress was made, and what the next session will focus on.
How often should my child have SABIS English sessions each week?
Most families in the GCC book one to two sessions per week. For students preparing for a SABIS periodic assessment or catching up after a gap, two sessions per week gives faster, more measurable progress.
What grade levels do your SABIS Elementary English tutors cover?
Talimat tutors cover Grades 1 through 5 of the SABIS Elementary English curriculum, from early phonics and reading readiness through to multi-paragraph composition and grammar analysis in Grade 5.
Is there a contract or minimum commitment?
No. There is no enrolment deposit, no hidden fees, and no minimum commitment. You can cancel anytime. Sessions start from AED 30 per hour for Grades 1 to 8.
