Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Northoaks 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 Northoaks 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
Northoaks Primary School is a government co-educational primary school that opened in 2014 along Sembawang Drive. It serves students from Primary 1 through Primary 6 in a single-session format. In 2016, MOE Kindergarten @ Northoaks was established within the school grounds, providing families with a seamless transition from pre-school to primary education.
The school's Applied Learning Programme (ALP) centres on interdisciplinary curriculum integration through innovation, while its Learning for Life Programme (LLP), branded as STRIVE @ Northoaks, uses sports and outdoor education to develop character and values in students. Northoaks Primary also employs special educational needs officers and runs the P1 TRANSIT programme, which provides social and behavioural support for incoming Primary 1 pupils. The campus is fully barrier-free, ensuring accessibility for all students.
Admission Process
Enrolment at Northoaks Primary School follows the annual MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which takes place between July and October each year. Registration proceeds in phases: Phase 1 is reserved for children with siblings already attending the school, and subsequent phases gradually widen eligibility through to Phase 2C, which is open to all Singapore Citizen and Permanent Resident children without prior connections to the school.
Parents register through the MOE online portal and must submit supporting documents such as the child's birth certificate and proof of residential address. When applications in any phase exceed the number of available places, MOE conducts a computerised ballot. In Phase 2C, priority is given based on home-to-school distance — children living within 1 km are considered first, followed by those within 1 to 2 km.
For Singapore Citizens, there are no tuition fees at government primary schools. Monthly miscellaneous fees amount to approximately $15. Permanent Residents pay around $455 per month inclusive of tuition and miscellaneous fees. Rates for international students differ and can be checked on the MOE website. Financial assistance schemes are available for eligible families.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
The academic programme at Northoaks Primary covers the standard MOE syllabus, including English Language, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue Languages. Chinese, Malay, and Tamil are offered as Mother Tongue options, with higher and foundation levels available to match each student's proficiency. The school also runs a structured reading programme that spans both English and Mother Tongue departments.
Foundation subjects are available for students who benefit from additional support, and the curriculum is designed to build progressively toward the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE). The school's ALP in interdisciplinary curriculum integration encourages students to draw connections across subjects and apply their learning in practical, creative ways.
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-level syllabus, which some parents in the Sembawang area have found helpful for reinforcing classroom learning.
