Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Huamin 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 Huamin 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.

Phase 1 is reserved for children with siblings already enrolled in the school. Phase 2A covers children whose parents are former students, staff members, or active community leaders connected to the school. Phase 2B is for children whose parents have volunteered at the school or are endorsed by a church or clan directly connected to it. Phase 2C is open to all Singapore Citizen children who have not secured a place in earlier phases, with priority given to those living within 1 km of the school, followed by those within 2 km. Phase 2C Supplementary provides a final opportunity for remaining applicants.
