Master criterion-based assessment across biology, chemistry, and physics. Expert MYP science tutors for ages 11–16.
IB MYP Sciences goes beyond content memorisation — students must demonstrate skills across four assessment criteria that test understanding, investigation design, data processing, and scientific reflection. At GetYourTutors, our full-time science tutors in Dubai are specialists in the MYP assessment model. We cover biology, chemistry, and physics in an integrated way that mirrors how your child's school delivers the MYP sciences programme, while also providing targeted support in specific disciplines where needed. Whether your child is transitioning from PYP Science or preparing for IB Diploma science courses, we build the experimental thinking and content knowledge the programme demands.
Many MYP students find that they understand scientific concepts but struggle with the investigation criteria — designing experiments with controlled variables, processing data into appropriate graphs and tables, and evaluating the reliability of their results. Our tutors provide structured practice in these skills, working through past assessment tasks and building the scientific vocabulary needed to communicate findings clearly. We also prepare students for the MYP eAssessment, where they must apply knowledge to unfamiliar scenarios under timed conditions. This comprehensive approach to MYP assessment ensures your child is ready for top grades and a confident start to the IB Diploma.
Our MYP tutors also cover MYP Mathematics and MYP Language & Literature. View all IB MYP tutoring services or explore our biology, chemistry, and physics tutoring for other curricula.

Common questions about IB MYP science tutoring in Dubai.
MYP Sciences uses four criteria: Criterion A (Knowing and Understanding), Criterion B (Inquiring and Designing experiments), Criterion C (Processing and Evaluating data), and Criterion D (Reflecting on the Impacts of Science). Each is graded 0–8. Our tutors ensure your child can perform strongly across all four, not just content recall.
Yes. MYP Sciences is an integrated programme covering biology, chemistry, physics, and earth sciences. Some schools teach these as separate disciplines in Years 4–5, while others maintain an integrated approach. Our tutors adapt to your child's school structure and provide targeted support in whichever science discipline they need most.
Criteria B and C are investigation-focused — designing experiments, controlling variables, collecting data, processing results, and evaluating conclusions. Our tutors guide students through the scientific method as applied to MYP assessment, practising how to write hypotheses, design fair tests, create data tables, draw graphs, and evaluate reliability.
MYP Sciences builds the experimental design, data analysis, and content knowledge foundations required for IB Diploma Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and ESS. Students who master MYP assessment criteria are well-prepared for the Internal Assessment (IA) component of Diploma sciences, which follows a similar inquiry structure.
Yes. The MYP eAssessment in sciences tests students' ability to apply scientific knowledge to unfamiliar scenarios. Our tutors build familiarity with the on-screen format, practise data interpretation questions, and develop the scientific reasoning skills needed to tackle novel problems confidently.
Criterion D is where many students lose marks because it requires evaluating the ethical, social, and environmental implications of scientific developments — not just recalling content. Our tutors teach students to discuss real-world applications of science, weigh benefits against risks, and write structured reflections that demonstrate genuine critical thinking about how science affects people and the planet.
Absolutely. While MYP Sciences is integrated, many students have strengths in some disciplines and weaknesses in others. Our tutors identify exactly where your child struggles — whether it is forces and motion in physics, chemical reactions, or cell biology — and dedicate sessions to those areas while maintaining overall MYP science progress.
One to two sessions per week works well for most MYP science students. If your child is preparing for the eAssessment or has significant gaps in one science discipline, two sessions allow deeper coverage. We recommend an appropriate schedule during the first session based on your child's current performance across all four MYP criteria.
Yes. MYP lab reports require a specific structure: research question, hypothesis, variables, method, data collection, data processing, conclusion, and evaluation. Our tutors teach this structure explicitly, practise with sample investigations, and provide feedback on drafts so your child learns to write reports that meet Criteria B and C expectations consistently.
