Getting into GEP can give your child an edge when it comes to going to his/her dream school.
But did you know that over 60% of GEP students face immense stress fighting among the top 1%? And that ultimately kills
their love for learning? Worse, because of the extra topics to study, they fail to keep up resulting in their withdrawal and
return to the mainstream. This might result in them losing self-esteem when comparing themselves to better performing peers.
Having over 12 years of experience with the GEP syllabus, our Academic Director, Coach Leo, and our Senior Coaches have designed
a robust GEP training curriculum that is constantly updated to keep up with the requirements of the GEP. At Tutify, we
ensure that the right students get selected for our GEP Preparation Class through our diagnostics process and that every
student has the knowledge and skills they need to excel in GEP.
Our CSI Framework (below) ensures every student is equipped with all 18 GEP training tools while our holistic training approach allows
development in logical reasoning, pattern spotting and visualisation skills that are both useful in GEP, and increasingly important
for PSLE.
Mr and Mrs Foo
Parents of Cheryl Foo
Our girl was doing very well in school for math but always complains math is boring. We were worried and decided to search for something
that will renew her interest in the subject. Her 1st trial with Tutify went very well and she kept asking when is her next lesson! The
types of questions given to her are similar to school but more advanced and out-of-the-box. She qualified for GEP and never looked back!
Thank you Tutify!
Mr Yang
Father of Claudia and Clyde
I got them [the childen] started young because I believe that math builds strong thinking skills. And I am glad I chose
Tutify! Coach Bevie and Julie are highly experienced and knew in-depth about the GEP and Math Olympiad. Both of my kids
got into the same GEP school after joining the GEP preparation class and we are still continuing to maintain their
good performance. Thank you coaches!
Ms. Jeannie Ho
Mother of Valerie Toh
Valerie showed a lack of interest in school, especially during math class. She does not pay attention and seems to
be in her own world. Our friend's child also had the same problems and was doing well with Tutify so we decided to
join as well. To our surprise, we found that Valerie started to show great interest
in the GEP math class! After a year of training, she qualified and joined GEP in a top school!
Tutify's strong and proven teaching methodology has helped 95% of our students achieve a 2-grade improvement within 6 months or less.
Critical Thinking
Rote learning (drilling) and memorisation is the wrong way to prepare for GEP Maths. In fact, qualifying for GEP this way will
only result in long-term harm as the student may not have developed the necessary skills that is required of a GEP student.
At Tutify, we develop our students' logical reasoning, pattern spotting and visualisation skills. So when students encounter out-of-the-box
questions in the GEP Screening Test, they are confident in solving them.
Strategies and Tools
Throughout the course of their GEP Preparation Class, our students will be equipped with our 18 Effective Strategies and Tools to solve
problems with speed and accuracy. They will then apply these strategies and tools to resolve 90% of all questions in their
GEP Screening Test as well as PSLE Math examination.
Independence
Enrichment can only do so much if the student is not self-motivated. This is why we have an independent learning approach
at our GEP Preparation Course in Singapore,
where students can take ownership of their learning. We create a supportive and inclusive classroom environment where students
have the opportunity to participate and take risks. Students are also given a platform to articulate their answers. This makes
learning more fun and exciting. On top of that, what is taught is easily integrated as students are constantly applying what is
taught.

What Proud Parents Say About Our GEP Preparation Class
GEP Tuition Can Bring Out Your Child's Full Potential
Since 2016, 70% of our students have cleared Round 1 of the test and 45% of them subsequently went on to be offered a
place in the Gifted Programme. Parents may opt to accept or reject the offer, depending on whether or not they feel the
GEP is suitable for their child. Most of our talented young mathematicians have also won medals in multiple local and international
Math Olympiad Competitions.
As professional Math Olympiad (MO) Trainers, we employ effective MO training techniques to speed up the process of developing
Critical Thinking Skills in our Singaporean students. These techniques focus on building a strong conceptual foundation.
Then, students in our GEP preparation class are equipped with effective strategies and tools, which enables them to solve problems with speed and accuracy.
By the end of the course, students will be adept at spotting patterns and thinking outside the box to solve
challenging math problems. Many of our GEP students have also went on to Win Medals in prestigious MO competitions
(this can be used in your child's DSA application).
Throughout the course, we employ the most effective Math Olympiad training techniques to help your child see rapid improvement in their math
results to maximise their chances of qualifying for the GEP.
How To Tell If Your Child Is Gifted In Maths?
Interest in Maths
Gifted children frequently exhibit particular behaviours. In the case of children who are gifted in maths, they are likely to show
interest in seeking out and solving maths problems on their own. They will also exhibit a clear interest in maths by asking
questions and discussing arithmetic and numbers. So, if you see your child engaging in such behaviour and going above and
beyond by learning outside of school, he or she is more than welcome to join our GEP preparation class and Math Olympiad
programmes.
Would You Like Your Child To Solve These Types of Questions?
Here are several maths problems that you can have your child solve to get an understanding of their affinity for maths. It is
important to note that solving these problems is not a definitive way of determining if your child is suitable for the
GEP programme. Lots of students who came through Tutify's GEP preparation class were not mathematically inclined initially
but grew to develop a keen interest in maths and exceled towards the end of the GEP tuition programme.
Problem 1
Find the missing number in the sequence: 3, 6, 9, 15, ( ? ), 39, ...
Problem 2
What is the sum of 1 - 2 + 3 - 4 + ... + 19 - 20 + 21?

What You Will Learn
The following are modules covered in the MO & GEP Preparation Course:
Baseline review of your child’s strengths and weaknesses in mathematics. Our online diagnostics test accurately
measures the mathematical aptitude of each student and allows us to make suitable recommendations and set
progressive milestones for your child’s improvement.
This course is taught progressively from the beginner to advanced levels so as to ensure that students are
able to fully understand each topic and skillset in the curriculum. Notes and explanations are presented clearly
and will be provided for your child’s practice and application.
The GEP and Maths Olympiad have a lot in common. After mastering these MO techniques, your child will be able to attempt at least 70% of GEP Screening
questions and easily clear Round 1 of the entrance test.
Contrary to the step by step approach you learn in school, the key to solving high order thinking questions
is to simplify the problem. Learn to use the elegant, hassle-free approach for effective problem-solving with
speed and accuracy!
It isn’t what you don’t know but what you know that isn’t true that gets you. Even the simplest of topics
can become a nightmare when problems are twisted to intentionally trap the candidate. Learn how to achieve
deep conceptual understanding in order to overcome such pitfalls.
Learn how weak / average students can increase their visualisation, logical reasoning and pattern spotting
skills to the same level as Math Olympiad Gold medalists. These skills are not only applicable to math but
to other subjects as well.
How to study smart when it comes to math? The top 1% of Math Olympiad medalists use these revision /
practice techniques to save hundreds of hours in preparation for competitions and exams. That is why they
don’t only do well in Math but in other subjects as well.
Whether for the GEP Screening Test or in MO Competitions, candidates must perform to the best of
their ability amidst stressful exam conditions. After training hundreds of Gifted students and MO medal winners, we have
developed the best way to train candidates to be more focussed and less nervous in the exam.
GEP Preparation Class Curriculum
Every child has the potential to be gifted. Unleash his/her talent via the Math Olympiad Training and
GEP Preparation Course!
The main objective of this training programme is to allow students to discover their potential in mathematics.
Students in our GEP preparation class will be exposed to math problems that tests their logical reasoning, pattern spotting and visualisation skills.
This allows them to further develop their Critical Thinking abilities, especially at a young age, to be able to solve
non-routine math problems that will appear in the Math Olympiad competition and the GEP Screening Test.
Content Enrichment
The quality and extent of the GEP Preparation curriculum go beyond what is taught in regular education. GEP tuition, such as
Tutify's GEP preparation class, covers more complex subjects taught proactively by our tutors. This method encourages students
to use their imaginations to draw links between various topics within different fields. The aim is to inspire them to look into
practical issues to develop critical thinking and analytical skills.
Process Enrichment
Non-routine Math Olympiad-style problems that evaluate logical reasoning are used as test questions for the students in the
GEP tuition. The aim is to enable children to learn via exploration and experience. Another essential component of the
GEP preparation class is open-ended problem-solving that does not solely rely on memorization. This helps to impart research
skills for independent study, which is a core component of the GEP programme.
Product Enrichment
In our Maths tuition centre, students are encouraged to
use presentations, videos, models, and other submission formats to present their work. This type of multimodal learning and
presentation is another key part of the GEP that sets it apart from mainstream education. To adequately prepare your child for
this, our GEP tuition class encourages creative expression and guides students into thinking outside the box. The goal is to
have pupils gain knowledge via first hand involvement in problem solving and presentation of the solution.
Learning Environment
A dynamic, encouraging, learner-centric environment is established in our GEP preparation class for students to flourish and learn.
Risk-taking and intellectual freedom are encouraged in the class to fully bring out the students' potential. This will result in
students not only developing valuable skills but also having fun and loving maths!
