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 Westwood 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 Westwood 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
Westwood Primary School is a government co-educational primary school established in 2013 in the Jurong West neighbourhood. The school operates on a single-session model and is guided by a Positive Education philosophy, which integrates character strengths such as resilience, gratitude, and kindness into everyday teaching and learning. This approach is intended to support both the academic and emotional development of its students.
The school has two signature MOE programmes. Its Applied Learning Programme (ALP) centres on Positive Design and Maker Education, combining elements of design thinking and STEM through hands-on activities such as robotics and prototyping. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) focuses on Community Service and Student Leadership, encouraging students to contribute to the wider community while developing empathy and a sense of responsibility. Westwood supports bilingual education with mother tongue language options in Chinese, Malay, and Tamil. The school also provides support for students with special educational needs through programmes such as P1 TRANSIT, which assists with social and behavioural adjustment during the transition to primary school.
Admission Process
Primary 1 registration at Westwood Primary School follows the standard MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise conducted annually. The process is structured across several phases:
Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling currently enrolled in the school. Phase 2A covers children whose parents are members of the school's advisory or management committee, alumni, or staff members. Phase 2B is for children whose parents have volunteered at the school or who are endorsed by a church or clan association connected to the school. Phase 2C is open to all Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents who have not secured a place in earlier phases. A supplementary Phase 2C round follows if places remain unfilled.
When the number of applicants exceeds available vacancies in any phase, places are allocated by ballot. Priority is given to applicants living within 1 km of the school, followed by those within 1 to 2 km. Parents should apply through the MOE online portal during the designated registration window each year.
The school is located at 1 Jurong West Street 73, Singapore 649188. Parents with questions may contact the school at 6412 1690 or by email at [email protected].
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Westwood Primary School follows the MOE national curriculum, covering core subjects including English Language, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies, alongside Art, Music, and Physical Education. Mother tongue language instruction is available in Chinese, Malay, and Tamil.
The school's pedagogical approach emphasises inquiry-based learning and higher-order thinking across subject areas. In Mathematics, students are encouraged to apply concepts through problem-solving tasks and real-world contexts, building a strong foundation in logical reasoning and numeracy from the lower primary years onward. The ALP in Positive Design and Maker Education provides additional opportunities for students to engage with mathematical modelling and spatial reasoning through maker activities and STEM projects.
Westwood students have performed well in inter-school mathematics competitions. In the Primary Schools Math Olympiad Collaborative Contest, the school placed first among 13 participating schools in 2023 and second among 16 schools in 2024. These results reflect the effectiveness of the school's approach to developing mathematical competence alongside broader analytical skills.
For families seeking additional structured practice in Mathematics outside of school hours, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers programmes aligned to the MOE primary syllabus, which some Westwood parents have found helpful for reinforcing classroom learning at home.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
Westwood Primary School's campus features modern classrooms designed for collaborative and technology-supported learning. The school includes a library, dedicated maker spaces equipped with tools such as 3D printers for STEM-related project work, and green outdoor areas that support environmental education and physical activity. The campus is barrier-free, ensuring accessibility for all students.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are offered across four categories. In Physical Sports, students can participate in Girls' Football and Wushu (open to both boys and girls). The Visual and Performing Arts category includes Choir, Chinese Dance, and Malay Dance. The Uniformed Groups category offers Boys' Brigade. Under Clubs and Societies, students can join English Culture and Language. These activities provide students with opportunities to develop teamwork, discipline, and perseverance alongside their academic studies. Modular CCA options are also available for younger students to explore different interests before committing to a regular CCA.
Student Life and School Culture
Daily life at Westwood Primary School is shaped by its Positive Education framework. The school actively cultivates a culture where character strengths are recognised and practised, with students encouraged to demonstrate gratitude, kindness, and resilience in their interactions with peers and teachers.
The Learning for Life Programme in Community Service and Student Leadership provides structured opportunities for students across all levels to participate in service projects. These projects are designed to build empathy and a sense of civic responsibility while also developing leadership skills among older students who take on mentoring and organisational roles.
The school hosts a MOE Kindergarten (MK @ Westwood), which provides continuity for families transitioning from pre-school into the primary school environment. Parents can view school events, activities, and updates through the school's official website, which includes a photo and video gallery.
As a young school in the Jurong West community, Westwood has steadily built a reputation for its nurturing environment and emphasis on holistic student development. Its combination of strong academic programmes, values-based education, and a wide range of co-curricular options makes it a school focused on preparing students not only for the PSLE but for their broader growth as individuals.
