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 Hougang 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 Hougang 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
Hougang Primary School is a government co-educational primary school situated at 1 Hougang Street 93, Singapore 534238. Established in January 2000, the school initially operated from temporary premises before relocating to its permanent campus in 2001. It started with approximately 600 students and a teaching staff of 20, and has since expanded considerably.
The school operates under the vision of nurturing "Future-Ready Thinkers with a Heart for Others" and is guided by the mission of bringing out the best in every child through a holistic, values-based education. Core values such as resilience and empathy are woven into daily school life. English serves as the medium of instruction, with Chinese, Malay, and Tamil offered as mother tongue languages at both standard and foundation levels.
Hougang Primary School runs two distinctive programmes. Its Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in STEM and Sustainability, branded X-Cell@HGP (eXperiment, eXplore, eXperience), engages students in hands-on science and technology projects with a focus on environmental awareness. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) in Sports and Outdoor Education develops character traits such as teamwork and perseverance through adventure-based activities. The school also provides support for students with special educational needs through P1 TRANSIT and allied educators.
Admission Process
Enrolment at Hougang Primary School follows the MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted annually from July to August for Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents.
The registration proceeds in phases. Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling currently enrolled in the school. Phase 2A covers children whose parents are alumni, staff members, or active community leaders connected to the school. Phase 2B is for children whose parents have volunteered or have membership in an affiliated organisation. Phase 2C is open to all Singapore Citizen and Permanent Resident children who have not secured a place in earlier phases, with priority given based on home-to-school distance — within 1 km, then 1 to 2 km, and beyond 2 km. Balloting may take place if applications exceed available places in any phase.
Parents should prepare the necessary documentation, including the child's birth certificate and proof of residential address. Detailed vacancy information and phase-specific guidelines are published on the MOE SchoolFinder website each registration cycle.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Hougang Primary School follows the national curriculum set by MOE, covering English Language, Mathematics, Science, and mother tongue languages. The mathematics programme is structured to develop students into active and independent learners, progressing from exploratory activities in Primary 1 through to structured PSLE preparation by Primary 6. Both standard and foundation tracks are available to cater to different learning needs.
The ALP in STEM and Sustainability (X-Cell@HGP) gives students practical exposure to scientific inquiry and technology, with projects that often incorporate mathematical reasoning and data analysis.
