Hi Jack! I like how you structured the post, but you might need to make some amendments as there are some inaccurate information. Also, would suggest that you do not exclude the girls schools, so more people will find it useful.

Maths Heuristics is a good one. I like the way they explain the questions especially the modeling questions, with \"before, changes, after\" stages. I personally benefitted a lot by just watching their video clips.

Primary 5 Mathematics is the toughest level in primary school. It is wise to ensure the kids know the contents well enough.

I don't send my kids to math tuition as I teach myself.

Thanks. I have gone to Concept Math and do not think very much of their methods and their teacher quality or maybe I am just unlucky. I will check out Maths heuristic. Thanks!

Best to stick with the smaller math tuition specialists that have their founders still teaching the psle math classes, like http://www.nicklebeetutors.com/ and https://www.ammielwan.com.sg/.

That way you can be assured of their methods and teacher quality.
