Math Tuition for Rosyth School Students

Small-group Primary Math classes where every child gets individual attention — and the skills to show it in exams.

Rosyth School’s story begins in 1956, when it opened its doors at Rosyth Road, serving children from nearby kampungs in a modest yet inspiring setting. Named after its original location, the school quickly grew into a pillar of community learning. DeepThink's Primary Math programme is designed to support Rosyth School students from P1 through P6.

How DeepThink supports Rosyth School students

  • Lessons follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus exactly — the same topics, heuristics, and model-drawing methods your child uses at Rosyth 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

  • Rosyth School has a Gifted Education Programme (GEP) — GEP students receive enrichment-level support that goes beyond the standard PSLE syllabus

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 Rosyth 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 Rosyth 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

Rosyth School first opened in 1956 along Rosyth Road, serving children from the surrounding kampung communities. Named after the street where it began, the school steadily grew into an established neighbourhood institution. It relocated to Serangoon North in the 1980s and eventually moved to its current site at 21 Serangoon North Avenue 4 in 2001. The school operates as a co-educational, single-session government primary school guided by the motto "Sincerity and Charity."

As a Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school, Rosyth provides strengthened Chinese language instruction alongside English, supporting bilingual development from Primary 1 through Primary 6. The school has hosted the Gifted Education Programme (GEP) since 1983, offering an accelerated curriculum for high-ability learners identified through the national GEP screening and selection process. The school's core values — Integrity, Care, Appreciation, Respect, Resilience, and Excellence (I-CARE) — underpin its approach to character education and daily school life.

Admission Process

Admission to Rosyth School at Primary 1 follows the standard MOE registration framework conducted across several phases each year.

Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling currently enrolled at Rosyth School. Phase 2A accommodates children whose parents are alumni, school staff, or members of the School Advisory Committee. Phase 2B is for children whose parents have volunteered at the school for at least 40 hours or who are members of an affiliated church or clan association. Phase 2C is open to all Singapore citizens and permanent residents who have not secured a place in earlier phases, with priority determined by home-to-school distance.

Applications are submitted online through the MOE Primary 1 registration portal during the designated dates for each phase. When the number of applicants exceeds available vacancies in any phase, places are allocated by ballot, with children living within 1 km of the school given priority, followed by those within 2 km. As a popular SAP school, Rosyth has historically seen balloting in Phase 2C. Parents are advised to check the MOE website each year for updated registration timelines and vacancy information.

Curriculum and Academic Programme

Rosyth School follows the MOE primary curriculum covering English Language, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, or Tamil). As a SAP school, it places particular emphasis on Chinese language proficiency and offers Higher Chinese Language for students who qualify. Foundation-level Mother Tongue is available for students who need additional support.

The Mathematics department runs the STAR programme, which focuses on developing problem-solving skills and creative thinking through inquiry-based methods and technology-integrated lessons. The school's Applied Learning Programme (ALP) centres on STEM through Material Science, giving students hands-on opportunities to explore scientific concepts through practical experimentation from Primary 1 onward. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) focuses on Music and Performing Arts, providing all students with structured exposure to creative and artistic expression.

For GEP students, the curriculum includes enriched and accelerated content across core subjects, with opportunities for independent research and mentorship. Families seeking additional support in mathematics beyond the school curriculum may consider DeepThink, a math tuition centre that offers programmes aligned to the primary syllabus, including preparation for higher-order problem solving.

The school also integrates Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) using a strengths-based framework (I Am, I Can, I Have) to develop resilience and social-emotional competencies across all year levels.
