The programme
What your child gets at DeepThink

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Teck Whye 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 Whye 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 Whye Primary School traces its origins to 1959, when it was established as Jalan Teck Whye Primary School to serve the farming community of Choa Chu Kang. The school relocated to its current site and adopted its present name in 1996, evolving into a government co-educational institution that serves pupils from Primary 1 through Primary 6. Guided by the philosophy "Every Child, Our Child," the school places strong emphasis on values-based education, bilingual development, and recognising each student's individual potential.
The school runs two signature MOE-aligned programmes. Its Applied Learning Programme (ALP), titled "Media Whiz Kids! Nurturing Confident and Media Literate Communicators," develops digital literacy and communication skills through media-related projects. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP), "I-LEAD, I-SERVE -- Leadership through Service," builds empathy and civic awareness through structured community engagement activities. STEM learning is supported through the Infocomm Club, where students explore coding and computational thinking. As a non-SAP school, Teck Whye Primary accommodates a diverse student body and provides dedicated support for learners with special educational needs, including trained allied educators and the P1 TRANSIT programme for social and behavioural development.
Admission Process
Enrolment at Teck Whye Primary School is managed through the MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which proceeds in a series of structured phases. Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling currently studying in the school. Phase 2A caters to children of alumni and those connected to the school through staff or advisory roles. Phase 2B provides places for children of parent volunteers and those with links to the school's community or religious organisations. Phase 2C is the open registration phase for all remaining applicants, with home-to-school distance serving as a key factor.
All applications are submitted through the MOE online portal during the designated registration window. If the number of applicants in any phase exceeds available places, a ballot is conducted. Parents can refer to MOE's published records of past registration outcomes for a sense of demand patterns at the school. Key documents typically required include the child's birth certificate and proof of residential address.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
The academic curriculum at Teck Whye Primary School follows the MOE syllabus across core subjects: English Language, Mathematics, Science (from Primary 3), Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, or Tamil), Social Studies, Art, Music, and Physical Education. Higher Mother Tongue options are available for eligible students. The curriculum is designed to build a solid foundation across these disciplines in preparation for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) at Primary 6.
In mathematics, the school has produced creditable results in external competitions. At the 2018 Singapore Math Kangaroo Contest, students earned one Silver Award and six Bronze Awards. In the same year, Teck Whye students achieved one High Distinction and nine Distinctions at the International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) across multiple subjects. These outcomes reflect a consistent focus on analytical reasoning and structured problem-solving skills from the lower primary years onward.
For families seeking additional support in mathematics, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the MOE primary syllabus, helping students reinforce the concepts and techniques needed for PSLE preparation.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The Teck Whye Primary campus features interactive classrooms fitted with smart boards for collaborative learning, along with a well-resourced library that supports independent reading and research. Outdoor areas include green play spaces and multipurpose fields used for physical education and recreational activities.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) form an integral part of student development at the school, with options spanning four broad categories. In sports, students can participate in badminton, basketball, football, track and field, and modular sports programmes that let younger pupils sample different activities in shorter rotations. Uniformed groups such as Scouts develop leadership, discipline, and teamwork. The performing arts programme includes choir and speech and drama, while clubs like Infocomm Technology (Media Production) and Environmental Science provide opportunities to explore technology and sustainability. A student leadership programme through the Prefect system rounds out the CCA offerings. Modular CCAs are particularly designed for Primary 1 and 2 students, allowing them to explore different interests before committing to a regular CCA from Primary 3 onward.
