Bar model, units & parts, supposition, working backwards — they can recite them all. Then the PSLE Paper 2 question lands and they stare. Five minutes go by before anything is written. By the time they commit to a method, the long question is out of reach and Q17 never gets attempted.
"I knew it was bar model. I just couldn't decide which one — three quantities or units and parts. So I tried algebra. Wrong answer."
We drill a heuristic decision tree by sight — three trigger phrases per heuristic, repeated until the choice is automatic. Then timed Paper 2 mocks from Term 2, set when the class is ready for them, train students to commit to a method within 90 seconds. We've seen this work for kids who already knew the maths.

Each term covers 8 weekly lessons — we run 8-week cycles rather than following the 10-week MOE school terms. The 10% bundle rate applies when you take 2 or more subjects — any combination, not a fixed pairing. Missed lessons are credited into the next term — credit applies for public holidays, school holidays, official school activities, and absences with a medical certificate.
Every topic in the Primary 6 / PSLE Math syllabus, taught in the order that builds skill. Refreshed yearly against the latest SEAB exam reports.
The methods we teach with — applied across the term, calibrated to where each student needs them most.
Most lost marks are habit, not knowledge. We track them, name them, and correct them until they stop appearing.
The PSLE-style problem: "At first, Adam had $40 more than Ben. After each gave $20 to charity, Adam had twice as much as Ben. How much did Ben have at first?" Most students start on calculations. We start on the diagram. Two bars: Adam's $40 longer than Ben's. After both lose $20, the difference between the bars is unchanged — still $40. Adam's remaining = 2 × Ben's remaining, so Ben's remaining = $40 (the difference), meaning Ben started with $40 + $20 = $60. The diagram does the heavy lifting. Three lines of working, and the reasoning is visible for every mark it can earn.
No surprises. The structure is the same week to week — students settle in fast.
"Under her guidance, my son made a remarkable transformation in Math. The teaching approach not only built his understanding of complex concepts but also reignited his confidence and passion for the subject."
Both branches see Primary students from across the north and west of Singapore. A snapshot of the schools currently in our classes.
P6 PSLE Math rewards students who handle multi-step word problems calmly and pick the right model for each — not students who panic at unfamiliar phrasing. The questions below cover what to expect in PSLE year.
