Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Methodist Girls' School (Primary)?
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 Methodist Girls' School (Primary).
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
Methodist Girls' School (Primary) traces its roots to 1887, when the broader MGS institution was established. The primary section began operating in 1992, extending the school's Methodist educational tradition to younger students. As a government-aided girls' school, MGS Primary is guided by Methodist values of grace, discipline, and community service, with a focus on nurturing both character and academic ability in a bilingual environment.
MGS Primary holds Special Assistance Plan (SAP) status, which means students study Higher Chinese alongside English-medium instruction. The school's Applied Learning Programme (ALP) centres on Languages and Communication, while its Learning for Life Programme (LLP) focuses on Sports and Outdoor Education. These distinctive programmes are designed to develop well-rounded learners who can communicate effectively and stay physically active. The school has received the School Excellence Award and the Best Practice Award for Character and Citizenship Education, recognising its sustained contributions to holistic primary education in Singapore.
Admission Process
Enrolment at MGS Primary follows the standard MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted in phases. Early phases are reserved for children with specific connections to the school, such as siblings currently enrolled, children of alumni, or families affiliated with the Methodist church community. Phase 2A is open to children whose parents have served as school volunteers or are members of the school's advisory or management committee.
Phase 2B accommodates children whose parents are endorsed by the school or an affiliated organisation. Phase 2C is open to all Singapore citizens and permanent residents who have not secured a place in earlier phases. If the number of applicants exceeds available vacancies in any phase, a ballot is conducted, with priority given to families living within 1 km of the school, followed by those within 1 to 2 km. Parents can check historical vacancy and balloting data on the MOE SchoolFinder website. Applications are submitted online through the MOE portal during the designated registration window each year.

The Mathematics curriculum builds progressively from Primary 1 through Primary 6, covering number sense, measurement, geometry, data handling, and problem-solving.
