SABIS High School Biology — Grades 9 to 12
The SABIS Biology curriculum moves from foundational cell theory and biochemistry in Grade 9 through organ systems, genetics, and evolution in Grades 10 to 11, culminating in ecology, biotechnology, and exam preparation in Grade 12. Every unit is built on measurable learning points.
Cell Biology and Biochemistry — Prokaryotic and eukaryotic structure, enzyme kinetics, membrane transport
Genetics and Heredity — Mendelian inheritance, DNA replication, gene expression and mutation
Human Physiology — Digestive, circulatory, respiratory, nervous, and endocrine systems
Ecology and Environment — Population dynamics, energy flow, nutrient cycles, conservation
Biotechnology and Evolution — PCR, gel electrophoresis, natural selection, speciation
Talimat tutors cover the full range of Cambridge IGCSE subjects taught within the SABIS Educational System, so students can get support across every subject on their timetable.
+ additional SABIS High School subjects available on request.
SABIS High School students preparing for Cambridge IGCSE Biology are graded on an eight-level letter scale from A* (highest) to G, with U for ungraded results.
Top Performers - A* Award
The A* grade in Cambridge IGCSE Biology requires consistent command of extended-tier content, precise scientific terminology, and accurate data analysis across all assessment components.
The grading scale above applies specifically to Cambridge IGCSE and may differ from Edexcel, AQA, IB, or other programmes offered at SABIS schools. Speak to your Academic Consultant for board-specific grade boundary guidance.
Our students consistently achieve top grades.

SABIS Biology covers a large volume of precise content across four years, and the point-based assessment system means gaps compound quickly. A 1:1 tutor addresses specific missed points before they affect AMS scores and external exam outcomes.
The SABIS Point System organises every Biology lesson into discrete, measurable learning objectives. In Grade 9, students are expected to distinguish prokaryotic from eukaryotic cells, describe enzyme active-site specificity, and explain phospholipid bilayer structure. These are not broad concepts but testable points that appear in weekly and periodic assessments.
By Grade 11, the volume intensifies. Students must explain the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction, interpret Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium calculations, and describe the hormonal regulation of blood glucose. Missing one unit of points in the SABIS sequence creates visible gaps in AMS performance data that the classroom teacher may not have time to address individually.
A dedicated SABIS Biology tutor works through a student's AMS history, identifies the exact points that are insecure, and rebuilds understanding before the next periodic examination. This is precisely what IGCSE tutoring and online tutoring can deliver that self-study alone cannot. Students preparing for Cambridge IGCSE Biology or moving toward A-Level Biology benefit from this targeted approach, particularly in practical skills and extended-response questions.
Key takeaways
From your first message to your first Biology session, the process is straightforward. Your Academic Consultant handles matching, scheduling, and curriculum alignment from day one.

Trusted by Gulf families
Tell us your child's grade, current SABIS unit, and any AMS checkpoint concerns. Your Academic Consultant uses this to shortlist Biology tutors with direct SABIS experience.
Within ten minutes, you receive a tutor profile showing their subject degree, SABIS familiarity, and available slots. You review and confirm before any session takes place.
Your first live 1:1 Biology session is free. The tutor assesses understanding of current SABIS points, identifies gaps, and outlines a targeted study approach for the weeks ahead.
Your tutor builds a personalised study plan aligned to the SABIS sequence and your upcoming assessments, covering the exact Biology points that need reinforcement before each test.

Answers to the questions SABIS Biology families ask most often before their first session.
Yes. Your Academic Consultant gathers your child's current unit and AMS data before matching. Every session is aligned to the specific SABIS Biology points your child needs to secure next.
This is common and exactly what Talimat is built for. Your tutor reviews previous SABIS Biology points, identifies the gaps causing current difficulties, and rebuilds understanding without starting from scratch.
All Talimat sessions are live and 1:1. Your child works directly with their Biology tutor in real time, asking questions and working through SABIS points interactively.
Talimat tutors cover Cambridge IGCSE, Edexcel, AQA, IB, and AP Biology. For SABIS students progressing toward external qualifications, your tutor will align sessions to the relevant exam board alongside the SABIS curriculum.
Tutor matching takes under ten minutes. Sessions can begin as early as the same day, with no enrolment deposit and no fixed start date required.
IGCSE-level Biology sessions start from AED 50 per hour. A-Level Biology sessions start from AED 65 per hour. There are no hidden fees, and you can cancel at any time.
Yes. Tutors are familiar with the SABIS periodic and cumulative exam format. Sessions in the weeks before each exam focus on the specific Biology points most likely to appear, based on the SABIS assessment cycle.
Talimat is not a Cambridge registered centre. Students sit Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level Biology exams via approved Cambridge exam centres such as the British Council Dubai.
