PSLE Maths Mastery Workshop: Conquer Problem Sums with MS Power Codes
(by Head of Mathematics James Wong)
Date & Time
28 Aug 2025 (Thu), 7:30PM – 9:00PM
With prelims wrapping up, many P6 students are shifting their focus towards the final PSLE push and we’re running a 1.5-hour PSLE Maths Mastery Clinics to help support them in this crucial phase of revisions.
This targeted session focuses on problem sums - a key area that often makes or breaks exam performance. Students will be taught how to solve tough exam-style questions using Mind Stretcher’s proven MS Power Codes designed with essential problem-solving heuristics that have been drawn from recent exam trends.
They will then put those strategies to the test by diving into mock assessment questions to help them get comfortable and confident applying these methods under pressure.
We’re also hooking them up with take-home revision kits - complete with Power Codes and practice questions - so they can keep leveling up until the PSLE.

Electricity is one of the trickiest topics in Primary Science, especially for P5 students encountering it for the first time. Abstract and unfamiliar concepts like how parallel arrangements affect bulb brightness, or learning to draw electric circuits accurately are common struggles for students.
To help clear all this up, our upcoming Topical Reinforcement Clinics on Electricity is designed to strengthen understanding and boost exam readiness.
The session will break down difficult concepts into simple, digestible steps, tackle common misconceptions, and guide your child through exam-style questions with precision. Plus, every student will receive concise summary notes and targeted practice questions to reinforce learning after the session.

Chinese composition can feel daunting for many P3 and P4 students, but with the right strategies, it can be a high scoring area for their exams. Our upcoming clinics is designed to help your child tackle common struggles like sentence structuring and enriching their vocabulary to elevate their overall foundations in Chinese writing.
By breaking down the process into clear, manageable steps and guided practice, students will learn to apply these proven strategies to generate creative ideas and craft them into engaging compositions that are confidently written and exam-ready.
