Close the gaps now, so P6 is not a scramble

P4 and P5 are not just harder sums. They are structural shifts in how a child has to think. When the foundation underneath is partial, the new demands quietly surface the gap.

Expedite is our diagnostic-led, full-year programme for Primary 4 or Primary 5. We start with a diagnosis, teach in classes of no more than eight, mark every week, and pair current-level lessons with prior-year foundation recordings, so a child fills last year's gaps while keeping pace with this year. It runs January to September, and you can join at any time.

Why P4 and P5 matter

P4 and P5 shift in structure, not just difficulty.

Most parents assume these years are "more of the same, but harder." The real change is in how a child has to reason.

At P4 the syllabus introduces abstract ideas and multi-step problems. At P5, much of the PSLE syllabus arrives at once: ratio, percentage, rate and average, with questions that combine concepts. Where the earlier foundation is secure, a child builds forward. Where it is partial, they spend the year quietly revisiting what came before, and the time for new learning narrows.

At P4

Factors and multiples, multi-step problems, choosing a method, and complex model drawing.

At P5

Ratio, percentage, rate and average arrive, with combined-concept questions and faster working.

Diagnostic patterns

Five places where the gap usually shows.

These are the topics that most often reveal an underlying weakness. The diagnostic looks here first, so support is aimed at the cause, not just the symptom.

Fractions

Equivalent fractions, unlike denominators, and "fraction of remainder" problems. This is the structural base for P5 ratio, percentage and rate.

Multi-step word problems

Choosing the operation, breaking a problem into steps, and working backwards. The same decomposition logic runs through every P5 and P6 word problem.

Model drawing

Knowing when a model is the right method, drawing it accurately, and turning a finished model into calculation. The central method in Singapore Math.

Problem-solving heuristics

Classifying which heuristic fits, staying systematic on unfamiliar formats, and checking that an answer is reasonable.

Decimals

Place value, converting with fractions, and keeping units consistent. Decimals appear across a large share of P5 and P6 questions.

"Worth noticing at home: homework taking longer than last year, more 'careless' mistakes, or 'I'm just bad at Math'."

The pattern we see

Why "let's wait and see" rarely closes a structural gap.

Waiting works when a gap is small or situational. When it is structural, where a child is missing the understanding each new topic builds on, the same months slip past while the syllabus keeps moving.

January

"Let's see how they settle into the new year."

March

First assessment comes back around AL4 to AL5. "Give it more time."

June

Mid-years still AL4 to AL5. "We'll look at it after the holidays."

July

Preferred classes are filling. The options are narrower than in January.

September

End-of-year exams arrive, and the grade has not meaningfully shifted.

Naming this is not pressure. If the gap is minor, we will tell you so, and point you to lighter support. The point of starting earlier is simply that more of the year is still ahead.

Diagnosis first

Not every child needs Expedite.

We lead with assessment, not the product. A free diagnostic places your child on one of three honest paths, and Expedite is only one of them.

Path 1

Secure foundations

A child at AL1 to AL2 with strong, consistent foundations, where the family can support structured practice at home.

Often needs no regular programme yet, or lighter targeted practice closer to PSLE.

Path 2

Minor, localised gaps

A child at AL2 to AL3 with a small, contained gap, who wants guided weekly practice rather than remediation.

A good fit for our Primary Math Weekly class.

Path 3 · Expedite

Structural, multi-topic gaps

A child at AL3 to AL6 with gaps across more than one topic, who needs gap-filling and forward progress, with a clear two to three year plan toward PSLE.

This is what Expedite is built for.

Many families place themselves in Path 3 when Path 2 is enough, and the other way around. That is exactly why the diagnostic comes first.

What the year includes

A full year, built to close the gap and move forward.

Weekly classes, max 8, taught only by our Principal Tutors. Every lesson is recorded and uploaded within 24 hours for unlimited replay.
Graded weekly homework with personalised written commentary, diagnosing the specific error pattern, not just ticks and crosses.
Two 1-to-1 support sessions around each Weighted Assessment: targeted preparation before, and detailed error analysis after.
The June Holiday Programme, with timed mock papers under exam conditions, then immediate marking and feedback.
Our own materials, term textbooks, revision booklets and topical workbooks, refreshed every 10 to 12 weeks.

The distinctive part

The Time Machine: last year's lessons, available from day one.

You cannot fix a P5 gap with only P5 lessons. The gap usually lives a year earlier.

Every Expedite child also receives the previous primary year's full curriculum: more than 40 recorded lessons plus the term textbooks. A P4 child can quietly fill P3 gaps while attending P4 class; a P5 child does the same with P4. Unlimited replay, self-paced, ready from the first day of enrolment, so the foundation is rebuilt in parallel rather than left behind.

P4 Expedite

40+ recorded P3 lessons and the 4 P3 textbooks, to close P3 gaps.

P5 Expedite

40+ recorded P4 lessons and the 4 P4 textbooks, to close P4 gaps.

How we teach

Diagnosis, not more of the same.

Expedite is not "extra practice on top." The plan is shaped by what the diagnostic and weekly marking reveal, and lessons advance on understanding, not a fixed pace.

It starts with a diagnosis

We find which of the five gap areas are open before we plan anything, so support is aimed at the cause.

Marking that teaches self-diagnosis

Written commentary on every homework names the error pattern and suggests a cleaner approach, so a child learns to spot it themselves.

Small enough to track everyone

With no more than eight in a class, the tutor sees every child's working in the lesson, and there is direct WhatsApp access between lessons.

Who it suits

A good fit, and an honest "not yet".

Expedite is a strong fit when your child:

is scoring around AL3 to AL6 with gaps across more than one topic;
needs both gap-filling and forward progress at the same time;
takes longer on homework than last year, or makes more "careless" slips;
is starting to say "I'm bad at Math", with confidence quietly dropping;
has a family ready to commit to weekly attendance and steady practice.

Already secure

An AL1 to AL2 child may not need a programme yet. We will say so, and suggest lighter practice closer to PSLE.

A small gap

A minor, contained gap is better served by the lighter weekly class, not the full bundle.

Wants fast, effortless results

Expedite rewards consistent effort. If a family is not ready for that, we would rather be upfront.

Schedule, format & fees

Three branches or Zoom, the same teaching.

P4 Expedite

Weekly 1.5-hour lessons · max 8 · January to September

P5 Expedite

Weekly 2-hour lessons · max 8 · January to September

Venues

Bukit Timah (Coronation Plaza) · Punggol · Pasir Ris (new, limited availability) · or live on Zoom. The same teaching and materials at every venue, and you can switch between onsite and Zoom with a week's notice.

Joining part-way through

January gives the most runway, but mid-year is fine. The Time Machine and lesson recordings cover earlier material, so a later start does not leave a hole.

How fees work

Quoted at the diagnostic consult

Expedite is a single, all-inclusive fee for the rest of the programme, with no separate registration or materials charge. The exact figure depends on your child's level and how much of the year remains, so we share it after the free diagnostic, once we know what your child actually needs.

One all-inclusive fee, no add-ons
Includes the Time Machine recordings
Replaces, not adds to, the weekly class fee

Questions parents ask

How is Expedite different from the regular weekly class?

The regular weekly class is a standard weekly lesson. Expedite is a full-year programme that includes that weekly class plus graded weekly marking, two 1-to-1 Weighted Assessment sessions, the June Holiday Programme, and the Time Machine prior-year recordings. Expedite families do not separately pay for the weekly class; it is a replacement, not an add-on.

What is the Time Machine?

It is the previous primary year's full curriculum, given to every Expedite child: more than 40 recorded lessons plus the term textbooks. A P4 child uses the P3 set, a P5 child uses the P4 set, so they can close last year's gaps while keeping pace with this year. It is self-paced with unlimited replay, available from the first day of enrolment.

How much does Expedite cost?

Fees are quoted at the diagnostic consult. It is a single, all-inclusive fee for the remainder of the programme, with no separate registration or materials charge, and the exact figure depends on your child's level and how much of the year is left. Financial assistance is available case-by-case for families with genuine need.

Does my child actually need Expedite?

Not every child does. We start with a free diagnostic and place your child on one of three honest paths. A child with secure foundations may need nothing yet; a child with a small, contained gap is usually better served by the lighter weekly class; Expedite is for structural gaps across more than one topic. We lead with the assessment, not the product.

Can my child join part-way through the year?

Yes. The programme runs January to September and you can join at any time. January gives the most runway, but the Time Machine and lesson recordings cover earlier material, so a later start does not leave a gap.

How large are the classes, and who teaches them?

Classes are capped at eight students and are taught only by our Principal Tutors, including Mrs Eileen Toh and Ms JS Lee, never delegated. Small classes let the tutor track every child's working in the lesson, with direct WhatsApp access between lessons.

My child has become anxious about Math. Will this help?

Small classes let lessons move at the pace of understanding, with no advance until a concept is secure, and errors are treated as useful information rather than failures. Confidence tends to return as competence deepens. The weekly marking is written to show a child what to fix, not just what was wrong.
