Lessons follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus exactly — the same topics, heuristics, and model-drawing methods your child uses at St. Hilda's 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
St. Hilda's Primary 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 St. Hilda's 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 St. Hilda's 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
St. Hilda's Primary School is a government-aided, co-educational institution serving students from Primary 1 through Primary 6. Rooted in Christian values, the school provides a nurturing environment that balances academic rigour with character formation. It welcomes boys and girls of all backgrounds and emphasises the development of the whole child — intellectually, socially, and morally.
The school is one of nine centres in Singapore that runs the Gifted Education Programme (GEP), catering to high-ability learners from Primary 4 onwards. Its Applied Learning Programme (ALP), known as the Hildan Ambassador Programme, centres on language and communication skills, while the Learning for Life Programme (LLP) focuses on visual arts and design thinking. St. Hilda's Primary is affiliated with St. Hilda's Secondary School, which provides students with priority consideration during secondary school admissions under Phase 2A.
Admission Process
Enrolment at St. Hilda's Primary School follows the Ministry of Education's annual Primary 1 Registration Exercise. The process is conducted in several phases:
Phase 1 is reserved for children whose siblings are currently enrolled at the school. Phase 2A covers children of alumni, staff members, or those connected to the school's church. Phase 2B is designated for children of parent volunteers who have contributed at least 40 hours, as well as those endorsed by community or church leaders. Phase 2C is open to all remaining Singaporean citizens and permanent residents, with priority given based on home-to-school distance.
Registration is completed online through the MOE P1 Registration portal. When the number of applicants in any phase exceeds available places, a ballot is held. Distance priority tiers apply: children living within 1 km of the school are given first priority, followed by those within 1 to 2 km, and then those beyond 2 km. Historical vacancy and balloting data is published on the MOE SchoolFinder website each year.
As a government-aided school, fees are subsidised for Singapore citizens. The exact fee structure, including miscellaneous charges, is available on the MOE website and may be updated annually.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
The academic programme at St. Hilda's Primary covers the full MOE syllabus, including English Language, Mathematics, Science, Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, and Tamil), Social Studies, Art, Music, and Physical Education. Higher Mother Tongue options — Higher Chinese, Higher Malay, and Higher Tamil — are available for students who qualify, alongside Foundation-level Mother Tongue for those who benefit from additional support.
Students identified for the Gifted Education Programme follow an enriched curriculum from Primary 4 that encourages deeper exploration across core subjects. The Hildan Ambassador Programme (ALP) develops students' confidence in oral and written communication through authentic, real-world language tasks. The Learning for Life Programme nurtures creativity and design thinking through structured visual arts experiences across all levels.
Preparation for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) is woven into teaching from the lower primary years, with progressive skill-building in English, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue. The school also integrates critical thinking and problem-solving into daily lessons to build a strong academic foundation.
For families seeking additional structured support in Mathematics beyond school hours, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers programmes closely aligned to the MOE primary syllabus, helping students reinforce key concepts and build confidence ahead of the PSLE.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
St. Hilda's Primary provides a broad selection of Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) designed to develop students' interests and character from Primary 1 through Primary 6. These span four main categories:
Sports and Games include Hockey (Boys), Netball (Girls), Sailing (Co-ed), Table Tennis (Boys), and Volleyball (Boys). These programmes build teamwork, physical fitness, and sportsmanship.
Uniform Groups such as the Boys' Brigade and Girls' Brigade instil discipline, leadership, and a sense of service to the community.
Performing Arts offerings encompass the Choir, String Ensemble, Guzheng Ensemble, Modern Dance (Girls), and English Drama. These groups give students opportunities to perform and develop artistic expression.
Clubs and Societies include Art and Crafts (Girls), International Chess, Media Resource Library, and Infocomm Technology. These activities cater to a range of intellectual and creative interests.
CCA participation is part of the school's approach to holistic education, encouraging students to explore passions outside the classroom while developing responsibility and perseverance.
Student Life and School Culture
Daily life at St. Hilda's Primary is shaped by its Christian ethos and a commitment to building strong character alongside academic ability. The school places emphasis on values such as respect, responsibility, resilience, and care for others, which are reinforced through assembly programmes, pastoral care, and classroom interactions.
The school employs Special Educational Needs (SEN) Officers and runs the P1 TRANSIT programme, which supports incoming students with social and behavioural adjustment needs during their first year. This inclusive approach reflects the school's belief that every child deserves appropriate support to thrive.
Students benefit from the affiliation with St. Hilda's Secondary School, which eases the transition to secondary education by providing continuity in values and school culture. The shared identity across both schools fosters a sense of belonging that extends beyond the primary years.
Family engagement is encouraged through various school-organised activities and events throughout the year. Parents who wish to learn more about volunteer opportunities or other involvement channels can contact the school directly at [email protected].
