Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Geylang Methodist School (Primary)?
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 Geylang Methodist School (Primary).
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
Geylang Methodist School (Primary), commonly known as GMSP, traces its origins to 1924 when it was established as Geylang Methodist Girls' School by the Methodist Church. The school started with 27 pupils in a small classroom in Geylang, with the goal of providing educational access for girls from disadvantaged backgrounds. Early leaders such as Rev Lloyd Sullivan and Ms Emma Walker played instrumental roles in its development. In 1984, the school transitioned to co-education, and in 2007 it was officially renamed Geylang Methodist School (Primary). It maintains a close relationship with Geylang Methodist School (Secondary) as a sister institution. Major campus improvements took place in 2003 through the PRIME upgrading programme and again in 2017 with a new four-storey extension. Today, GMSP operates as a single-session school serving more than 1,500 students.
The school's guiding philosophy is rooted in Methodist values, expressed through its tagline: "Inspired by values. Grow, Lead, Serve with Joy." Its educational approach centres on nurturing character, developing strong academic foundations, and fostering community engagement. GMSP places particular emphasis on bilingualism, 21st-century competencies, and the integration of information and communication technology into teaching. Two signature programmes define the school's identity: the Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in Languages, which develops students as capable communicators in both speech and writing, and the Learning for Life Programme (LLP), titled "GM Earth Warriors," which involves students from Primary 1 in environmental stewardship through hands-on community projects. As a non-SAP school, GMSP offers Higher Mother Tongue options across Chinese, Malay, and Tamil, making it accessible to families from varied linguistic backgrounds.
Admission Process
Enrolment at GMSP follows the MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted online through the MOE portal each year. The exercise proceeds in phases: Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling already attending the school. Phase 2A applies to children of alumni or staff, as well as those connected to the school's board or advisory committee. Phase 2B covers children whose parents have served as parent volunteers or who are members of the Methodist Church affiliated with the school. Phase 2C is open to all remaining applicants, with balloting conducted if the number of applications exceeds available places.
Parents should prepare supporting documents such as the child's birth certificate and proof of residential address. Home-school distance is a factor in Phase 2C, with priority given to families living within 1 km, then within 2 km of the school. Annual timelines and detailed eligibility requirements are published on the MOE website. For school-specific questions, parents may contact GMSP directly at 6748 6746 or via email at [email protected].
Curriculum and Academic Programme
GMSP delivers the MOE primary school curriculum across English, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue Languages. The school's teaching approach emphasises inquiry-based learning and the development of logical reasoning skills, particularly in Mathematics, where students are encouraged to apply concepts to practical situations. Beyond the core syllabus, GMSP provides enrichment opportunities in STEM subjects and has seen students earn recognition in national mathematics competitions and science challenges.
The Applied Learning Programme in Languages strengthens students' communication abilities through structured speech and writing activities, while the Learning for Life Programme connects environmental education with values development and community service. Mother Tongue instruction is available in Chinese, Malay, and Tamil at both standard and higher levels, supplemented by cultural activities such as Mother Tongue Fortnight.
For families seeking additional support in Mathematics, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the MOE primary syllabus, which some GMSP parents have found helpful for reinforcing classroom learning and building confidence ahead of the PSLE.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The GMSP campus features a mix of modern and green spaces designed for primary-age learners. The 2017 extension added interactive classrooms with smart boards, a two-storey indoor sports hall, and additional learning areas.

Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are offered on a modular basis from Primary 3 onwards. In the sports category, students can participate in badminton, basketball, netball, football, and rope skipping. Uniformed groups include the Boys' Brigade and Girls' Brigade, both of which focus on leadership and discipline. The performing arts programme covers choir, guzheng ensemble, handbell ringing, modern dance, and angklung/kulintang ensemble. Club options such as Art and Crafts, English Culture and Language, and the Science and Environment Club provide additional avenues for students to explore their interests and develop teamwork skills.
STEM-related activities, including the annual GMSP STEM Challenge, give students the opportunity to apply analytical and problem-solving skills in collaborative settings.
