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 Yu Neng 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 Yu Neng 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
Yu Neng Primary School traces its roots to 1935, when it was established as Yeu Nerng School during a period of significant economic difficulty in Singapore. The school was set up to serve families in need of affordable education, and it has since grown into a well-regarded government co-educational primary school in the Bedok area. Its name, adopted in 1982, carries the meaning of limitless capability — a reflection of the school's belief in the potential of every child. In 2003, the school merged with Min Xin Primary School, and it currently operates from its campus at 56 Bedok North Street 3. The school marked its 90th anniversary in 2025 with a series of celebrations recognising its long history.
Yu Neng Primary School operates as a single-session institution and follows the national curriculum set by the Ministry of Education. It offers mother tongue languages in Chinese (including Higher Chinese for eligible students), Malay, and Tamil alongside the core subjects of English, Mathematics, and Science. The school runs an Applied Learning Programme (ALP) centred on Digital Making and Technology for Good, which introduces students to coding, information and communications technology, and design thinking from Primary 1 through Primary 6. Its Learning for Life Programme (LLP), titled GOal GR3IT, uses sports and outdoor education as a vehicle for character development, with an emphasis on resilience and teamwork.
Admission Process
Admission to Primary 1 at Yu Neng Primary School follows the standard MOE registration framework. Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling already enrolled at the school. Phase 2A covers children whose parents are alumni, staff members, or who are connected to the school through advisory or management roles. Phase 2B is open to children whose parents have volunteered at the school or who have a connection through community or religious organisations. Phase 2C is available to all Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents who have not secured a place in the earlier phases.
When applications in any phase exceed the available places, balloting is conducted. Priority during balloting is generally determined by home-to-school distance and citizenship status. Parents can check past vacancy and balloting data on the MOE website to get a sense of historical demand. Applications are submitted online through the MOE Primary 1 Registration portal during the designated registration window each year, and parents should have documents such as the child's birth certificate ready.
As a government primary school, Yu Neng charges standard MOE fees. Education is free for Singapore Citizens, with small miscellaneous fees applicable. Permanent Residents and international students pay higher fees as set by MOE. The exact amounts can be verified using the MOE school fees calculator.

The academic programme at Yu Neng Primary School covers the full MOE primary syllabus, preparing students progressively from Primary 1 through to the PSLE at Primary 6.

Students in recent years have performed well at external competitions, with participants at the 2023 Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiad earning Gold and Bronze awards. The school's ALP in Digital Making also connects to mathematical thinking, as students work with coding concepts that draw on logical reasoning, pattern recognition, and algorithmic processes. Parents looking for additional support in mathematics outside of school hours may consider options such as DeepThink, a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the primary syllabus.
The school's PSLE preparation follows the national curriculum pathway, with teaching designed to build strong foundations across all examinable subjects. The holistic programmes, including the ALP and LLP, are intended to develop broader skills such as creativity, collaboration, and perseverance that support academic learning indirectly.
