SABIS Psychology — Grades 9 to 12
The SABIS High School Psychology programme moves students from foundational psychological theories in Grade 9 through to advanced topics in abnormal psychology, research methodology, and biological bases of behaviour by Grade 12. Every lesson is structured around the SABIS Point System, and performance is tracked continuously via AMS assessments and periodic cumulative exams.
SABIS Point System — Every Psychology concept is broken into discrete, measurable learning points tested in weekly and periodic assessments.
AMS Monitoring — The Academic Monitoring System tracks individual Psychology performance across cognition, development, and research methods units.
Cumulative Examinations — End-of-term exams draw on all prior Psychology points, requiring students to retain and connect topics across units.
Research Methods — Students learn to design, conduct, and evaluate psychological investigations, a skill tested consistently from Grade 10 onwards.
University Readiness — The Grade 11 and 12 curriculum aligns with AP Psychology and IB Psychology entry requirements, supporting transition to higher education.
Our tutors support students across the full SABIS High School subject range, from Cambridge IGCSE subjects through to A-Level and AP pathways.
+ additional SABIS High School subjects available on request.
SABIS High School Psychology is assessed internally through the SABIS Point System and AMS cycles, with external qualifications such as Cambridge IGCSE graded on an A* to G letter scale and A-Level or AP outcomes graded separately.
Top Performers – A* Award
Achieving A* in Cambridge IGCSE Psychology requires consistently demonstrating thorough knowledge of psychological theories, research methodology, and the ability to evaluate evidence with precision.
The grading scale shown reflects Cambridge IGCSE and may differ from Edexcel, IB, AP, or internal SABIS assessment scales; speak to your Academic Consultant for board-specific guidance.
Our students consistently achieve top grades.

SABIS Psychology demands more than memorising Freud or Pavlov. Students must apply psychological theories to novel scenarios, evaluate research methodology critically, and retain cumulative content across every AMS cycle. This section explains what makes the subject difficult and what targeted 1:1 support changes.
The SABIS Point System breaks Psychology into hundreds of individual learning objectives, from explaining classical conditioning and operant learning in Grade 9 to evaluating the reliability and validity of psychological research in Grade 12.
Each point is assessed regularly, and students who miss a concept early find it compounds. Abnormal psychology, for instance, requires a secure understanding of the biological, cognitive, and psychodynamic approaches before students can meaningfully evaluate diagnosis or treatment.
A 1:1 SABIS Psychology tutor identifies precisely which points a student has not yet secured and addresses them before the next AMS cycle. That is something neither a classroom of thirty nor self-study with a textbook reliably achieves.
Key takeaways
Every student gets a structured start: we identify the exact SABIS Psychology points that need attention and match them with a tutor who knows the curriculum, before the first live session begins.

Every Psychology lesson is broken into discrete learning objectives called points. Students are tested on each point regularly through weekly quizzes and AMS cycles. A tutor helps a student secure points they have not yet mastered before they appear in a cumulative exam.
The Academic Monitoring System assesses accumulated Psychology points continuously across the term. Students who have gaps from earlier units often underperform in AMS cycles even if they understood recent lessons. Targeted 1:1 sessions address those earlier gaps directly.
Depending on the school's external qualification pathway, SABIS High School Psychology students may sit Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, or AP Psychology. Talimat tutors are familiar with all three frameworks and can prepare students for the specific exam format they face.
Yes. We support students from Grade 9 through Grade 12, covering foundational learning theory, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, abnormal behaviour, and research methods, aligned to the SABIS curriculum sequence.
Most students are matched with a tutor in under 10 minutes. Your Academic Consultant confirms the match, reviews recent AMS data, and schedules the first live 1:1 session at a time that suits your family, Monday to Saturday, Gulf Standard Time.
Yes. Research methods is one of the most technically demanding units in the SABIS Psychology curriculum. Our tutors cover experimental design, sampling techniques, ethical considerations, and the interpretation of quantitative and qualitative data, all mapped to the specific SABIS learning points being tested.
For SABIS Psychology, online 1:1 tutoring is highly effective because the subject relies on discussion, diagram annotation, and structured essay practice rather than laboratory equipment. Our platform supports shared documents, live annotation, and real-time feedback during every session.
Talimat's online tutoring for IGCSE-level Psychology starts from AED 50 per hour. Pricing for A-Level pathways starts from AED 65 per hour. There are no enrolment deposits, no hidden fees, and you can cancel at any time.
