Small group classes so your child can ask questions, get feedback, and is never lost in the crowd
From P5 onwards, every class is structured around PSLE technique — not just content, but how to show working clearly and pick up method marks
Parents are kept in the loop on what was covered and where their child needs more practice — so you're never in the dark between sessions
The programme
What your child gets at DeepThink
Each weekly session builds directly on the last. Your child works through new concepts, revisits gaps, and practises exam-style questions — in a group small enough that the teacher actually knows them.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Changkat Primary School?
Yes. All Singapore primary schools follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus, and our P1–P6 classes are built around that curriculum — the same topics, the same model-drawing and heuristics approach, and the same exam format your child sits at Changkat Primary School.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Parents are kept informed on what was covered and where their child should focus. We also flag any persistent gaps as soon as we spot them — not just before exams.
When should my child start tuition?
There's no single right answer, but earlier is generally better. Gaps in foundational topics like fractions and ratios compound as children move through primary school. A free trial class is a good way to find out where your child actually stands.
What makes DeepThink different from other math tuition centres?
Small group classes, parents kept in the loop on progress, and a curriculum focused on the exact skills MOE examiners test — including how to structure solutions, not just whether the answer is correct.
School Overview
Changkat Primary School traces its origins to 1965, when it opened as Changkat Changi Primary School on a hilltop in the Changi area — the name "changkat" being derived from the Malay word for hill. The school moved to its present location at 11 Simei Street 3 in 1988 and adopted its current name to mark the transition. A significant infrastructure upgrade took place in 2002 under the MOE PRIME programme, and the school celebrated its 60th anniversary in July 2025.
Changkat Primary is a government co-educational school that operates on a single-session schedule. Its educational approach centres on bilingualism, inclusivity, and student-centred learning, with an emphasis on inquiry-based methods and the use of technology in the classroom. The school runs two signature programmes: an Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in STEM and Sustainability, known as ECO@CKP, which combines environmental science with project-based learning; and a Learning for Life Programme (LLP) called SOAR@CKP, focused on sports and outdoor education to develop teamwork and perseverance in students.
Admission Process
Enrolment at Changkat Primary School follows the MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which takes place annually across multiple phases. Priority is given in the earlier phases to children with siblings already enrolled, children of alumni, and parent volunteers. Remaining places are filled in Phases 2B and 2C, which are open to a broader pool of applicants.
Parents submit applications through the MOE online portal during the designated registration window. If the number of applicants in any phase exceeds available vacancies, places are allocated through balloting. In Phase 2C balloting, Singapore Citizens living within 1 km of the school are given priority, followed by those within 1 to 2 km, and then those beyond 2 km.
As a government school, monthly fees for Singapore Citizens amount to $5 in school fees plus $20 in miscellaneous fees. Permanent Residents pay approximately $440 per month plus miscellaneous fees, while International Students pay $830 or more inclusive of GST. Parents can verify exact fee amounts using the MOE fees calculator.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Changkat Primary School follows the national curriculum set by MOE, covering English Language, Mathematics, Science, Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, and Tamil), Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies. Mother Tongue is available at standard, foundation, and higher levels to accommodate different proficiency levels. From Primary 5, students take subjects at either the foundation or standard level based on their individual strengths under the Subject-Based Banding framework.
The school has a consistent record of preparing students well for the PSLE, with particular strength in Mathematics — students have earned Platinum, Silver, and Bronze awards at the Asia-Pacific Mathematical Olympiad for Primary Schools (APMOPS). An E2K Mathematics enrichment programme is offered to selected Primary 4 and 5 students, focusing on logical reasoning and creative problem-solving through real-world challenges.
The ECO@CKP Applied Learning Programme integrates STEM and sustainability concepts across the curriculum, giving students hands-on experience with environmental projects. For families seeking additional support in Mathematics beyond what the school provides, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the primary Mathematics syllabus.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The Changkat Primary campus features interactive classrooms fitted with smart boards and collaborative learning spaces. The school library serves as a resource centre for reading and research, while dedicated science laboratories support practical experiments. Outdoor areas, connected to the SOAR@CKP programme, include multipurpose fields and activity spaces designed for physical education and adventure-based learning.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are offered from Primary 3 onwards, with modular options available for younger students to sample different activities. Sports CCAs include Basketball, Track and Field, and Wushu. In the performing arts, students can join Choir, Guitar Ensemble, Modern Dance, or Art and Crafts. A Student Leadership programme develops responsibility and organisational skills, while the Math and Science Enrichment Club provides opportunities for students interested in analytical challenges and robotics.
Student Life and School Culture
Daily school hours run from 7:40 am to 1:30 pm, with morning assembly beginning at 7:30 am. The single-session timetable allows students time for family activities, CCAs, and independent study in the afternoons.
The school places strong emphasis on character education and values development alongside academic learning. Programmes under the Learning for Life initiative use sports and outdoor experiences to build resilience, self-discipline, and a sense of community among students. The bilingual programme, offering English alongside Chinese, Malay, or Tamil, supports both language proficiency and cultural awareness.
Parent engagement is encouraged through direct communication with form teachers via school email, as well as through involvement in school events and volunteer programmes. The school's approach aims to foster a partnership between families and educators in supporting each child's development across their primary school years.
