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 Marsiling 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 Marsiling 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
Marsiling Primary School has served the Woodlands community since its establishment in 1958, making it one of the longest-standing schools in the Marsiling-Woodlands area. Originally known as Marsiling School, it has grown from modest beginnings into a well-regarded government primary school that places strong emphasis on character formation and bilingual education.
The school operates under the values framework R²IC²E, which stands for Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Commitment, Care, and Esprit de Corps. These principles guide daily school life and shape the way students interact with one another and their community. In 2024, Marsiling Primary received the Lee Hsien Loong Award for Innovation in Uplifting Students (LHL AIUS), recognising the school's work in motivating learners through creative teaching approaches such as Quickwrites and Visible Thinking Routines.
The school runs two distinctive programmes. Its Applied Learning Programme (ALP), known as SPARKS@MPS, centres on purposeful storytelling to develop language skills and creative expression. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP), LEAD to Serve, focuses on community engagement and student leadership. Marsiling Primary also provides support for students with special educational needs through dedicated officers and barrier-free campus facilities.
Admission Process
Primary 1 registration at Marsiling Primary School follows the Ministry of Education's annual P1 Registration Exercise, which typically runs from July to August each year. The exercise is conducted online and proceeds in phases determined by eligibility criteria such as sibling enrolment, alumni connections, and home-school distance.
Phase 2C is open to children who do not qualify for earlier phases, including those living within 2 km of the school without sibling or alumni priority. Applications for this phase are submitted through the MOE P1 Registration portal during the designated window. If the number of applicants exceeds available places, balloting is carried out with priority given to those living closer to the school.
For Singapore Citizens, primary education is fee-free, with monthly miscellaneous fees of approximately $13 to $15. Permanent Residents pay school fees in the range of $293 to $343 per month in addition to miscellaneous fees, while international students are subject to higher fee structures. Parents can verify exact amounts using the MOE fees calculator based on their child's nationality and residency status.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Marsiling Primary School follows the national MOE curriculum covering English, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, and Tamil are available, including foundation and higher levels). The school places particular emphasis on building strong foundations across all core subjects to prepare students for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE).
The mathematics programme aims to develop positive attitudes towards the subject through practical, inquiry-based approaches. STEAM@MPS is a collaborative initiative between the Science and Mathematics departments that encourages interdisciplinary exploration and the use of technology in learning. Activities such as the Eureka programme give students hands-on experience with mathematical concepts. For English, EL Fiesta exposes students to different writing genres, while the Mother Tongue Language Fortnight provides immersive cultural and linguistic experiences.
Parents seeking additional academic support in mathematics may consider DeepThink, a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the primary school syllabus, which can complement the school's classroom instruction.
