What your child gets at DeepThink

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Yew Tee 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 Yew Tee 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
Yew Tee Primary School opened on 3 January 2000 to serve families in the Yew Tee estate, welcoming an inaugural intake of 214 pupils. The school initially operated from a temporary site at Unity Primary School before moving to its permanent campus at 10 Choa Chu Kang Street 64 in 2002. In 2024, it marked its 25th anniversary with celebrations that brought together alumni, current students, staff, and parents.
As a government co-educational primary school under the Ministry of Education (MOE), Yew Tee Primary runs on a single-session model. The school's core values are Integrity, Responsibility, Respect, Perseverance, and Care, and its vision centres on developing "Gracious Citizens" who contribute positively to the community.
Two signature programmes define the school's approach. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP), known as D.R.E.A.M.@Yew Tee (Developing Reflective Learners, Empowering Creative Minds), encourages interdisciplinary thinking and creative problem-solving across subjects. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP), called HEROES @ YTPS (Holistic Enriching and Rewarding Outdoor Education and Sports), develops resilience and character through physical activities and outdoor experiences.
The school supports bilingual education with Mother Tongue offerings in Chinese, Malay, and Tamil, including Higher Mother Tongue options. It also provides dedicated Special Educational Needs Officers and the P1 TRANSIT programme for students who benefit from additional social and behavioural support.
Admission Process
Enrolment at Yew Tee Primary School follows the standard MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted in phases each year.
Phase 1 is reserved for children whose siblings are currently enrolled in the school. Phase 2A provides places for children of alumni members, staff, or those from affiliated schools. Phase 2B accommodates children whose parents have served as parent volunteers or who have connections to the school's community partners. Phase 2C is open to all Singapore citizens, and Phase 2C Supplementary follows for any remaining places. If applications exceed available vacancies in any phase, places are allocated through a balloting process.
Parents can check historical vacancy and balloting data for each phase on the MOE website. Registration is completed online during the designated periods announced by MOE. For specific queries about the registration process, parents may contact the school directly at [email protected] or call 6767 0027.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Yew Tee Primary School delivers the national primary curriculum, covering English Language, Mathematics, Science (from Primary 3), Mother Tongue Languages, Social Studies, Art, Music, and Physical Education. Students are prepared for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) through structured teaching from Primary 1 onwards.
In Mathematics, the school offers the E2K Mathematics Programme, a specialised enrichment track designed for high-ability learners. This programme develops deeper mathematical reasoning through investigative tasks and challenging problem sets. Students from Yew Tee Primary have performed well in national competitions, including the Singapore Mathematical Olympiad and the National Cube Tournament, where the school placed 7th as the only primary school to reach the finals.
The D.R.E.A.M.@Yew Tee ALP integrates inquiry-based and reflective learning methods across the curriculum, encouraging students to connect ideas across different subject areas. Technology is incorporated into lessons to support self-directed and collaborative learning.
For families seeking additional support in Mathematics beyond the school curriculum, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the primary syllabus, which some parents in the Yew Tee community have found helpful for building confidence and fluency in the subject.
The school recognises academic achievement through its STAR Awards for excellence and KNL Awards for knowledge and leadership. Students have also earned distinctions at external events, including the Overall Champion title at the 14th Inter Primary School Tamil Talent Quest and awards at the 3rd Singapore International Student Conference.

Student Life and School Culture

The HEROES @ YTPS programme plays a central role in character development, giving students opportunities to build resilience and teamwork through sports and outdoor activities. Beyond CCAs, the school organises learning journeys, camps, and community engagement events that broaden students' experiences outside the classroom.
Parent involvement is actively encouraged. The School Advisory Committee (SAC) works closely with the school on initiatives related to student well-being and school improvement. Parents can connect with the school community through events, parent-teacher meetings, and the school's social media channels.
The school also provides support for students with special educational needs through dedicated officers and the P1 TRANSIT programme, which helps Primary 1 students with social and behavioural adjustment during their transition into formal schooling.
