How DeepThink supports Teck Ghee Primary School students
Lessons follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus exactly — the same topics, heuristics, and model-drawing methods your child uses at Teck Ghee 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
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 Teck Ghee 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 Teck Ghee 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
Teck Ghee Primary School (TGPS) was established in 1979 as the third government school to serve the Ang Mo Kio neighbourhood, originally situated at 1 Ang Mo Kio Street 42. The school was officially opened in April 1989 by then-Minister of Education Mr Lee Yoke Suan. In 2002, TGPS merged with Chong Li Primary School and moved to its present campus, bringing together two school communities while maintaining its longstanding ties to the local area.
TGPS operates as a government co-educational primary school guided by its motto, "Aspire and Achieve." The school's vision, "Nurturing Tomorrow's Leaders, Today," underpins a mission focused on developing creative thinkers, effective communicators, and caring leaders who are motivated to learn. English serves as the main language of instruction, with mother tongue options in Chinese, Malay, and Tamil offered at both higher and foundation levels to support bilingual development.
The school runs an Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in STEM centred on sustainability and tinkering, known internally as TinkeringG Stars. This programme emphasises practical, inquiry-driven learning where students engage with real-world problems through coding, prototyping, and mathematical modelling. As a government school, TGPS follows the national curriculum framework set by MOE and does not carry Special Assistance Programme (SAP) status.
Admission Process
Primary 1 registration at Teck Ghee Primary School follows the MOE online registration exercise, which runs in phases from Phase 1 through to Phase 2C Supplementary, typically between July and August each year.
Eligible Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents apply through the MOE Primary 1 Registration portal during the phase that corresponds to their connection to the school. Phase 1 is reserved for children with siblings currently enrolled. Phase 2A covers children whose parents are members of the school advisory committee, staff members, or alumni. Phase 2B accommodates children whose parents have volunteered at the school or are members of community organisations connected to the school. Phase 2C is open to all children who have not secured a place in earlier phases.
If applications in any phase exceed the number of available places, balloting is conducted. Priority during balloting is determined by Singapore citizenship status and home-to-school distance. Parents can check past vacancy data and balloting outcomes through the MOE vacancies tool to get a sense of demand patterns. The school can be contacted at [email protected] or by phone at 6454 8769 for registration queries.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
TGPS follows the standard MOE primary school curriculum, covering English Language, Mathematics, Science, Mother Tongue Languages, Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies. Foundation-level options are available for students who benefit from a more supported pace in certain subjects.
The school's STEM-focused Applied Learning Programme integrates sustainability themes into hands-on activities, encouraging students to apply mathematical and scientific concepts to practical challenges. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) centres on Visual Arts and Design, with a focus on multimedia communication skills that develop creativity and confidence in self-expression.
TGPS students have performed well in national mathematics competitions. In 2024, students earned awards at the Raffles Mathematical Olympiad and the Asia-Pacific Mathematical Olympiad for Primary Schools. The following year brought further recognition at the Raffles Mathematical Olympiad, the National Mathematical Olympiad of Singapore, and the Primary Science Olympiad. These results point to a curriculum that emphasises deeper conceptual understanding alongside standard examination preparation.
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 school syllabus, which some TGPS parents have found useful for reinforcing classroom learning.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The TGPS campus at 1 Ang Mo Kio Street 32 includes classrooms fitted with interactive technology for collaborative learning, a well-resourced library, and dedicated STEM spaces equipped for the TinkeringG Stars programme with tools such as robotics kits and 3D printers. Outdoor learning areas, including eco-gardens connected to the sustainability ALP, provide opportunities for experiential projects. The campus has barrier-free access, and the school employs Special Educational Needs officers to support students who require additional assistance.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) at TGPS span sports, uniformed groups, performing arts, and clubs. Sports options include basketball and volleyball. Uniformed groups consist of Scouts (boys) and Brownies (girls). Performing arts offerings include the Guzheng Ensemble, Choir, and Chinese Dance. Clubs cover areas such as Art, Robotics, Environmental Science, and Infocomm Technology (Media Production). CCAs are available to students from Primary 1 through Primary 6 and are designed to develop teamwork, leadership, and a range of interests outside the classroom.
Student Life and School Culture
TGPS operates as a single-session school, meaning all students attend during the same part of the day. The school places emphasis on holistic development, with character education woven into daily routines alongside academic learning.
The school supports students with mild special educational needs through its Special Educational Needs officers and the P1 TRANSIT programme, which helps students with social and behavioural adjustment during their first year. For students with moderate-to-severe needs, parents may wish to explore SPED school options.
As a government primary school, fees for Singapore Citizens are subsidised and generally kept low, covering standard school and miscellaneous charges. Exact fee amounts differ by nationality, and financial assistance schemes are available for eligible families. Parents can refer to the MOE fee schedule for current figures.
The school community includes alumni who have gone on to competitive secondary school programmes. Cassidy Tan, from the Class of 2015, progressed to the National Junior College Integrated Programme, reflecting the kind of academic foundation TGPS aims to provide.
