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
Henry Park Primary School has a Gifted Education Programme (GEP) — GEP students receive enrichment-level support that goes beyond the standard PSLE syllabus

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 Henry Park 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 Henry Park 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
Henry Park Primary School (HPPS) is a government co-educational primary school situated at 1 Holland Grove Road, Singapore 278790, in the Bukit Timah area near Holland Village. The school was established in 1977 and officially opened in 1978 by Dr. Chiang Hai Ding. It currently serves over 2,200 students in a single-session format.
HPPS operates as a Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school, placing a strong emphasis on bilingual proficiency in English and Higher Chinese. The school's guiding motto is "Learn, Lead, Love," reflecting its focus on developing both knowledge and character in its students. It is also one of the primary schools that hosts the Ministry of Education's Gifted Education Programme (GEP), with selection taking place through MOE testing in Primary 3.
The school's core values are Respect, Integrity, Care, and Excellence, which guide interactions, co-curricular involvement, and family engagement across the school community. HPPS has received the MOE School Distinction Award in recognition of its commitment to holistic education.
Admission Process
Primary 1 registration at HPPS follows the MOE annual Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted online across several phases. Phase 1 is for children who have a sibling already enrolled at the school. Phase 2A caters to children with alumni connections, while Phase 2B is for children of parent volunteers and those with certain community or church affiliations. Phase 2C is open to all Singapore Citizen and Permanent Resident children without prior ties to the school.
For Phase 2C, parents submit applications through the MOE P1 registration portal during the designated period, typically in July. If the number of applicants exceeds available places in any phase, balloting is conducted. Priority in balloting is determined by home-to-school distance and citizenship status. Parents can refer to past balloting data on the MOE website to gauge demand trends.
HPPS also offers a parent volunteer scheme for parents of Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident children eligible for an upcoming P1 intake. Participation typically requires completing 40 volunteer hours and provides priority consideration under Phase 2B. Details and application forms are available on the school's partnerships page.
As a government school, monthly fees for Singapore Citizens are $0, with miscellaneous fees of approximately $13 to $20. Permanent Residents pay around $440 per month, while International Students pay between $840 and $1,600 per month, subject to GST. The MOE fees calculator provides exact amounts for each category.
