Here’s the scary reality for you: Your child is sitting for the PSLE in 2024 and they have less than 4 months to pull up their grades.
Here's the scarier part: Your child will be graded against the new PSLE Scoring System, in which the top 3 grades are reserved for students scoring 80 and above.
For context, 75% used to be an "A" grade. 75% is now only an AL4, only the 4th highest grade!

If your child is scoring below average or borderline results, it means that they'll have an UPHILL TASK to just jump one grade, which can be as far as 20 - 25 marks away!
This is where I can help your child.
Here's a roadmap for you! There are 5 crucial periods, as shown above that lead up to the PSLE.
1) November / December holidays:
Your child must take advantage of this opportunity to consolidate what they've learnt in Primary 5 and strengthen their weak areas.
2) January to March:
There are only 8 weeks in this period where brand new Primary 6 topics and challenging problem sum methods are introduced. Some of these topics are completely brand new and your child needs to be able to understand them quickly - this can be easy with the right techniques.
3) April to June:
There are a further 10 weeks here where more topics taught in P5 go in depth and get exponentially challenging. Does your child really understand what's taught? In our experience, with the abolishment of the mid-year exams, students might become disillusioned as to how well they're doing. Your child will be given an exam at the end of this phase to assess whether they really are doing well and will discover what needs to be worked on.
4) June holidays:
Your child must take advantage of this opportunity to consolidate what they've learnt in Primary 6 and master the must-know problem sum methods here!
5) July to September:
There are only 14 weeks in this period where new topics like volume, speed and advanced questions are introduced. Your child needs to learn all these new topics while refreshing their memory on everything learnt from Primary 4 to Primary 6!
After spending over 10 years teaching students just like your child, I know there is a set of 9 core competencies that your child needs to develop as shown above, before they can score in the PSLE Math exam!
Each of them builds on the other and that's exactly what I help my students do when their parents send them to me.
These are the words of parents whose children have successfully graduated from this program!
"Ana Went From AL4 to AL1 For The PSLE... In Just 6 Short Months!"
"We signed Ana Sofia up with Math Prodigies at the end of March this year. She has always loved Math in school but we felt that Ana always fell short of achieving the grade she wanted because she was not able to find the 'key' to unlock the more challenging questions. One of the reasons: too shy to ask school teacher questions in class for further clarification.
Her sessions with Coach Saiful and Coach 'Atikah at Math Prodigies proved to be that much needed boost to push her AL4 to an AL1. Ana was always happy to attend her lessons whether it was at the center or virtually via zoom. She said her coaches were always engaging, the lessons were always fun and always very easy to follow. Ana also said that she felt much more comfortable asking questions during her lessons at Math Prodigies. I am sure this is very much due to the coaches' success in building relationships and creating a safe space for their students. The small class size also makes it less intimidating for her to speak up. This made all the difference.
We are very thankful that we found Math Prodigies for Ana Sofia. She made new friends and is so much more confident of her own ability to tackle the more challenging questions. Alhamdulillah.
Thank you, Coaches!

"Adil's Results Went From Failing at 47% to An A For The PSLE... In Just One Year!"
As a concerned parent, it was worrying to see Adil’s math grades take a drastic drop downhill when he went on to P5. His grades suffered the entire year and that’s when I chanced upon Coach Saiful’s 5 week program in Dec 2019.
We lived in the West and decided to give it a chance at any attempt to turn around his grades. This has to to be one of our best decisions ever! Adil came back much more confident of solving problems with all the methods taught by Coach Saiful.
He applied these techniques and almost immediately in his CA1 we saw a vast jump in his grades from 43%, a D grade to 74%, almost an A!
Give the child the right resources and they are sure to excel! There was no looking back for us and we are so glad that our paths had crossed!
Coach Saiful has his way with kids as I had observed through his online lessons. The kids are excited, motivated and more than that they feel confident handling Maths!
We want the best for our kids and we are glad to have found the best! Thank you Coach Saiful and Math Prodigies!
From an extremely satisfied parent!

"From C to A In Just
3 Months!"
"Aisyah went from a C to an A in just 3 months! The PSLE program worked for her because of the concise notes and the comprehensive coverage of the syllabus.
The diagnostic test kits revealed her weak areas so that we can work on them as I gave her repetitive practices on PSLE booklets as recommended. Thank you for your help and guidance. Aisyah is so happy!"

"From Struggling In Problem Sums to a Confirmed A Grade!"
"Jovan somehow struggled with Paper 2 (Problem Sums) and we made the right choice to send him to Coach Saiful. He is not only committed to improving his students' academics, but also in building their confidence and perseverance. Jovan enjoyed every lesson and by the end of the PSLE camp, our son was fully confident of the subject and got an A for PSLE, just as he expected when he left the examination hall. We are happy and grateful to Coach Saiful and his team for their dedication."
Proud Mom of Jovan Seet,
Now In Maris Stella High School
"She Became The Top Student Of Her Class!"
"After the camp she was more disciplined, focused and confident in problem-solving. She applied the time management techniques and problem-solving skills that Coach Saiful taught in the camp in her own revision.
She got an ‘A’ for the Prelims and PSLE and became the top student of her class! We are thankful for the guidance and training by Coach Saiful and his other coaches in her learning journey with Math Prodigies."

P5 & PSLE Math Specialist
8 Years Teaching Experience
Coach Vini has a deep-rooted love for Mathematics. This can be characterized by a burning passion to unravel its mysteries and a genuine desire to share this enthusiasm with others. For the last 8 years, Coach Vini has devoted her time to helping students of all levels understand and appreciate the beauty of Mathematics.
In this first phase, your child will get 24 hours of coaching on the brand new Primary 6 topics, over 8 weeks.
This will go in line with the school syllabus so as to reinforce learning and give them the confidence to perform.
All this while also working on the important Primary 5 topics so as to solidify their foundation!
Did you know that 90% of students' grades for the PSLE is within ONE grade of the one they score in the Mid-Year Exams? This makes it an opportune time and a great checkpoint to evaluate your child's readiness for the PSLE!
In this second phase, we take an exam-centric approach over 10 weeks by exposing your child to the Primary 5 & 6 topics and how they are most commonly tested with our own mid-year exams!
If you thought the jump in difficulty level from Primary 4 to 5 Math was huge, the jump from Primary 5 to 6 Math is bigger, especially in the dreaded problem sums!
This final phase is MISSION CRITICAL in helping your child improve in the problem sums and Paper 2, where most students fall.
We go through every topic again, this time with a focus on the 3 to 5 most commonly tested problem sums in these final 14 weeks!
Did you know that most of us forget 50% of what we've learnt in just an hour? Sounds unbelievable right? Unfortunately, this is the reality according to the research of the German psychologist, Dr Hermann Ebbinghaus' in the late 19th century. He calls it the Forgetting Curve.
This happens to your child as well, which is why sometimes they come to tuition class completely forgetting what they learned just the week before. This is counterproductive because if your child doesn't retain what they've learned, they need to be retrained repeatedly.
This is precisely why we are committed to dedicating an hour each week, throughout the entire program, to overcome the challenges posed by the Forgetting Curve. It is crucial that your child consistently attends these Memory Booster Sessions, as they are proven to make a significant difference in our students' preparedness for the PSLE.
This bonus is meant to help your child go back to what was being taught in class and review something they may have forgotten or missed! Over 130 hours of class recordings at your fingertips!
The videos will be easily accessible on YouTube on an unlisted page that only you and your child will have access to! Yes, you can watch the videos too if you'd like to gain a better understanding of how to guide your child!
Would it be advantageous if your child had access to the past 8 years of PSLE questions at their disposal 24/7? Of course it is! At any given time, you will only be able to buy 3 years worth of the past PSLE papers from bookstores. With this invaluable bonus, you'll have more than double of that and it's free of charge to you! If your child needs more variety in their revision, they can go through the video tutorials of every question in the last 8 years!
The videos will be easily accessible on YouTube on an unlisted page that only you and your child will have access to! Yes, you can watch the videos too if you'd like to gain a better understanding of how to guide your child!
Need help with a question that your child is struggling with? Wouldn't it be great if you could ask a Math Coach? Well, now you can! You can ask an unlimited number of questions on the Math Helpline website all year round absolutely for free!
Yes, that's right we're more than happy to help! Just note that we can take up to 5 working days to get back to you, so this is not meant to be a platform to get immediate help with school homework. It's meant to help your child gain understanding in their learning journey.
Wouldn't it be great if your child could revise Primary 4 to Primary 6 work using just ONE set of notes? This is what The Ultimate PSLE Math Hacks Cheatsheets was designed to do.
Just 100 pages of concise notes with every must-know method and problem sum heuristic for each topic! Fun fact: These notes were done up by our local University graduates from NUS, NTU and SMU! It's not for sale but you're getting it absolutely for FREE!
GET STARTED TODAY! NOW ACCEPTING 2024 INTAKE!
There are two payment plans for this program. You can either make a one-time full payment of $4100 (Save $300) or pay through an installment plan with an $880 upfront payment and monthly installments of $440. Go with the one that suits you best!
Every student learns at a different pace and your child is no different.
Your child will be placed into one of the two classes below depending on their ability level so that we can personalise their learning to achieve the best results.
1) STANDARD CLASS: Students who score between 45% to 69%
These students will need to master the basics to score in the Paper 1 first before transitioning to Paper 2 questions and mastering the must-know problem sum methods for each topic.
2) ADVANCED CLASS: Students who score 70% and above
These students already have a good grasp of the basics and need to master the must-know problem sum methods to score in the Paper 2 first before transitioning to advanced questions to score the top grades.
NOTE: Students who fall out of this range will ONLY be accepted on a case-to-case basis.
The Small Private Classes are 3 hours long and are held once a week. These intensive classes are doubly longer so as to give your child an immersion experience and make the lessons more effective! Your child will be given a 10-minute break at the 1.5 hour mark. The program will run over a period of 32 weeks in total.
The Small Private Classes are held between Fridays to Sundays with various timeslots to choose from. Please proceed to the signup form here and you will be able to see the schedule.
3) Where Are The Small Private Classes Held? Is There An Online Zoom Option?
Classes are held at Math Prodigies Learning Centre at 16 Jalan Masjid, Kembangan Suites #01-07, Singapore 418941. For those of you who stay very far away and would prefer an online class, we have an online Zoom option. Coach Saiful and Coach 'Atikah will make sure to interact with the students at home too so that they're included. However, we would suggest that if your child finds it hard to focus at home, it would be best to still come to the centre.
4) Will The Online Zoom Classes Be Only A One-Way Lecture? Will My Child Benefit From It?
No, the online classes will still be very interactive where Coach Saiful and Coach 'Atikah will call out students to answer questions and clarify their doubts just like how they would if your child was physically at the centre. Students can also ask questions through the chatbox and the Coaches will be able to handle them. In our experience, there's minimal impact to a student's learning if the student is scoring above 65%. This is because these are the students who can keep up easily due to their strong foundation in Math. They also tend to be more focused and independent in their learning. If you know your child do not possess these qualities and you still prefer the Zoom option, you may want to sit with them in the 3 hour class. If you'd like to see how our online classes are like with over 200 students, you can watch the videos here.
5) How Much Is The Upfront Payment For The Program? Are There Any Additional Fees On Top Of This?
The upfront payment for the program depends on the payment plan you choose. Below is the breakdown for the 2 payment plans.
1) Installment Plan:
- First Month's Fee ($440)
- Final Month's Fee ($440)
- One-time Material Fee ($75)
Total Upfront Payment for Installment Plan = $955.
Subsequently, monthly payments of $440 are to be made by the last day of each month.
2) Full Payment Plan:
- Full Payments ($4100)
- One-time Material Fee ($75)
Total Upfront Payment for Full Payment Plan = $4175.
As you can see above, the only additional fee is a one-time material fee of $75.
6) Is There A Trial Lesson For This Program? Considering The Investment, I Would Like To Ensure That My Child Likes The Class And Benefits From It.
We totally understand your concern. Unfortunately, we do not have a trial lesson for this program. However, if you'd like to see if your child likes the class and can benefit from it, you're welcomed to join our holiday programs like Master Problem Sums (www.mathprodigies.com/mps) or The Back to Basics Crash Course (www.mathprodigies.com/basic). These programs are conducted by the same 2 coaches and is a one-off program that runs over the course of 5 days. That's more than enough time to see if it's suitable for your child. You might also want to watch samples of our teaching on our Math Prodigies YouTube Channel here.
7) In The Event That I Would Like To Switch From The Standard Class to the Advanced Class In The Future, Would That Be Possible?
Yes, of course! Given that there are still seats in the class, your child can make the switch if they qualify for it. At the end of May, there is an exam where your child can be promoted to the Advanced class if they are able to score a particular score for the paper.
8) In The Event That I Would Like To Withdraw My Child From The Program For Any Reason, What Do I Do?
The fact is that there are VERY limited seats for this program as Coach Saiful can only teach so many students at one time for it to be effective. We would suggest that if you have any doubts, speak to us and we'll let you know if your child is suitable for the program. If you are still hesitant then, please do not take up a seat in this program and deprive another child of the seat.
We only have three intakes for this program, once in December, once more in March and a final one in June. If you would like to withdraw your child because you believe that the program is not working, let us know and we'll find out how we can make it work for them. You will be contractually obligated to keep your child in the program until at least May, so let us know so we can help your child better.
9) If I Have Any Other Questions, How Do I Reach You?
You may drop us a Whatsapp message or SMS to 83635713 and we will call you back. Alternatively, you can email us at info@mathprodigies.com. Kindly take note that we are closed on Monday and Tuesday. We will get back to you within 2 working days.
