SABIS tutors in Dubai who know the weekly exam rhythm
SABIS tutoring
In SABIS, a bad month shows up immediately. So does a fix.
Weekly AMS tests, periodic exams and a syllabus taught point by point, with no pause. Our mentors know the rhythm and teach to it, in person across Dubai or online anywhere in the UAE.

What makes the difference
- 01
Two Dubai campuses, two different weeks
Dubai has two schools in the network and they do not run in step. The International School of Choueifat in Al Sufouh 2 has been going since 1993; the Dubai Investments Park campus opened in September 2012. Each sets its own AMS week and its own periodic dates. We ask which campus before we plan anything, because a lesson pitched at the wrong week is a wasted hour.
- 02
The periodics are where the term catches up with you
Weekly tests only ask about the point just taught. A periodic reaches back over months, and that is where a topic nobody flagged in October turns up as lost marks in February. We read the breakdown with you, pick out the concepts it exposes, and work on those rather than on whatever the class happened to cover last.
- 03
Dubai's regulator publishes what you need to plan with
Every private school here is inspected by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority, which puts the rating and the school's own calendar on a public profile. That is unusually useful for a SABIS family: term ends and holiday weeks are knowable in advance, so a revision plan can be built around them instead of around a guess. Send us the campus and we will work from its published dates.
Subjects
Every SABIS Level, every core subject
Mathematics
Every Level, from the early foundations through to the material of the exam years. We plan each lesson against the point currently being tested, not a generic scheme, so progress shows in next week's result.
Sciences
Physics, Chemistry and Biology, from the middle Levels through to the exam years. Each subject is taught against the current point on the SABIS syllabus, with AMS revision built in as the Levels progress.
English & Languages
The SABIS English programme (reading, writing and grammar), plus the Arabic and French Levels. Mentors work from the same set texts and grammar points the weekly exams draw on, so preparation matches what is actually tested.
Cambridge papers
IGCSE, AS and A-Level for students entered for them alongside the SABIS programme. We teach from the board's own past papers and mark schemes, so students meet the exam in the same form it will actually take.
Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, the SABIS English programme, Business and Economics at senior Levels, Computer Science, Arabic and French. Some SABIS-network schools also enter students for Cambridge IGCSE, AS and A-Level, and we cover those papers too.

The two campuses sit at opposite ends of the city
Al Sufouh 2 is on Hessa Street, minutes from Al Barsha, the Marina and Umm Suqeim. Dubai Investments Park is the other way down Sheikh Zayed Road, out past Jebel Ali, closer to Motor City, Dubai South and the Jebel Ali villages. A mentor who can be in Al Sufouh at 4:30 pm is not also going to be in DIP at 5:00 pm, so we match on the side of town before we match on anything else. Homes in Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim, Al Barsha, Emirates Hills, Arabian Ranches, Dubai Hills, Motor City, Downtown, Business Bay, Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Village Circle, Mirdif and Deira, and online everywhere else in the UAE.

Where our Dubai SABIS students go to school
The International School of Choueifat in Al Sufouh 2, which has taught the programme in this city since 1993 and runs from Pre-KG to Grade 12. And the International School of Choueifat at Dubai Investments Park, open since September 2012, kindergarten through to Grade 12 and one of the larger schools in the city. We are not tied to either one. Tell us the campus, the Level and the subject, and the mentor is matched to that calendar.

FAQ
SABIS tutoring in Dubai, answered
- 01
How much does a SABIS tutor cost in Dubai?
Price follows the school level, not the curriculum. Primary Levels are AED 140 an hour, the middle Levels AED 160 and the exam years AED 180, all on the Commitment rate; Flexible is AED 20 more. VAT at 5% is already in those numbers and a lesson at your home adds AED 40. The full breakdown is on one page.
- 02
Do you tutor to the weekly AMS tests or the periodics?
Both, and they are not the same job. The weekly test asks about the point taught that week, so that work is about keeping pace. A periodic reaches back over months, so it needs revision layered underneath the week-to-week teaching. We plan the two together, which is why a periodic stops arriving as a shock.
- 03
Which Dubai campus does my child need a mentor for?
Both of the Dubai schools in the network: the International School of Choueifat in Al Sufouh 2, and the Choueifat campus at Dubai Investments Park. They keep separate calendars, so we ask which one before planning. Students at network schools in other emirates are taught online.
- 04
Do you cover the Cambridge papers SABIS students sit?
Yes. Where a student is entered for Cambridge IGCSE, AS or A-Level alongside the SABIS programme, we teach from the board's own past papers and mark schemes. The same mentor keeps track of the SABIS syllabus running beside it, because the two do not pause for each other.
- 05
Who are the mentors?
University students and recent graduates who sat these exams a few years ago and did well in the subjects they teach. They are matched on the subject and the Level, and on being able to reach your side of Dubai at the hour you actually want the lesson.
- 06
Are lessons online or in person?
Either, and most families use both. A mentor comes to the house across Dubai for AED 40 more per lesson, and online covers the rest of the UAE. In the week of a periodic, when nobody wants to lose an hour to Sheikh Zayed Road, the same mentor moves online and the slot stays where it was.
