How DeepThink supports Lianhua Primary School students
Lessons follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus exactly — the same topics, heuristics, and model-drawing methods your child uses at Lianhua Primary School
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 Lianhua 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 Lianhua 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
Lianhua Primary School was established in 1946 as Lian Wah Public School, originally serving the Bukit Timah community with an initial enrolment of around 200 pupils in the post-war period. The school later moved to its present site at 2 Bukit Batok Street 52 during the 1980s to cater to the growing residential population in the area. Over close to eight decades, Lianhua has developed into a government co-educational, single-session primary school with a strong emphasis on bilingualism and values-based education.
The school operates under the PISA framework — Physical, Intellectual, Social-moral, and Aesthetics — and is guided by the vision "Hearts of Service, Minds of Inquiry, Joy in Learning, Confidence in Life." Its mission centres on bringing out the best in every child through a collaborative partnership between school, family, and community. As a designated school for the Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in STEM and Sustainability, Lianhua integrates robotics, coding, and environmental awareness into everyday learning through its Robotics, Information, and Technology Education (RITE) programme. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP), known as CHAMP for Life, focuses on sports and outdoor education to develop physical resilience and teamwork alongside academic growth.
Admission Process
Primary 1 registration at Lianhua Primary School follows the Ministry of Education's annual phased admission exercise. Phase 1 is reserved for children whose siblings are currently enrolled at the school. Phases 2A and 2B give priority to children with alumni connections, those from affiliated churches or clans, and children of school staff or community leaders. Phase 2C is open to all Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents who have not secured a place in earlier phases, with distance from home to school used as the tiebreaker when applications exceed available places.
Parents register through the MOE Primary 1 Registration portal during the designated window each year, typically between June and August. Required documents include the child's birth certificate and proof of residential address. When the number of applicants in a phase exceeds available vacancies, places are allocated by ballot, with priority given to children living within 1 km of the school, followed by those within 1 to 2 km.
For mid-year transfers or admission outside the standard P1 exercise, parents may submit a request directly to the school office. As a government school, Lianhua charges no tuition fees for Singapore Citizens. Monthly miscellaneous fees are S$10 for citizens, while Permanent Residents pay S$80 in school fees plus miscellaneous charges. International students pay higher fees depending on their nationality category, with exact amounts available on the MOE website.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Lianhua Primary School follows the MOE national curriculum, covering English Language, Mathematics, Science (from Primary 3), Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, or Tamil, including Higher and Foundation levels), Social Studies, Art, Music, and Physical Education. Assessment at the lower primary levels (Primary 1 and 2) is non-weighted, shifting to weighted examinations from Primary 3 onwards as students build towards the Primary School Leaving Examination at the end of Primary 6.
The school's ALP in STEM and Sustainability gives students hands-on exposure to robotics and coding, connecting mathematical and scientific concepts to practical problem-solving. Through the RITE programme, pupils work with robotics kits and digital tools across their primary years. Students at Lianhua have participated in national competitions such as the Asia Pacific Mathematical Olympiad for Primary Schools (APMOPS), with past cohorts earning multiple distinctions and merit awards.
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 syllabus, helping students strengthen their foundations in areas such as problem-solving and exam technique.
Mother Tongue instruction is available in Chinese, Malay, and Tamil at standard, higher, and foundation levels. Parents who need non-Tamil Indian language options or exemptions may apply through the school.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The Bukit Batok campus includes classrooms fitted with interactive display technology, dedicated STEM laboratories equipped with robotics and coding resources, a school library, sports courts, playing fields, and outdoor learning spaces including a sustainability garden used for the school's environmental education programme. The school also provides support for students with special educational needs.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are offered from Primary 3 onwards, with more than 15 options spanning four categories. In sports, students can join basketball (boys), football (boys), volleyball (mixed), or Scouts. The performing arts programme includes Chinese Dance, Indian Dance, Malay Dance, Modern Dance, Gamelan Ensemble, Handbell Ensemble, and Percussion Ensemble. Clubs and societies cover Art and Crafts, Digital Media, Physical Science, and Robotics. These activities run alongside the academic programme and are designed to develop teamwork, discipline, and broader interests.
The Robotics Club in particular extends the school's STEM focus, giving students additional opportunities to apply mathematical and logical thinking through coding challenges and project-based tasks.
