Serving Families Around Sembawang and Yishun Since 2014
For 12 years, Oodles Math @ Sembawang has been the neighbourhood's go-to for primary and secondary math tuition. Students from schools right around us, Canberra, Chongfu, Endeavour, Jiemin, Northoaks, Wellington, Xishan, and Yishun Primary among them, have come through our doors, and we're proud to be rated the way we are because of them.
A Neighbourhood Favourite for Families Across Sembawang and Yishun
Walk into a lesson on any given day and you'll find kids from all over the neighbourhood working side by side. A large part of our student base comes from eight schools in particular, and it's not by accident. We're one of the closest math specialists around, and generations of Sembawang and Yishun families have made us their after-school stop.
Getting here is easy, even without a car. If you're on the Sembawang or Admiralty side (Canberra, Endeavour, Northoaks, Wellington), buses 859, 962, and 980 will get you here, and Sembawang MRT is a short walk from most of these schools. If you're coming from the Yishun side (Ahmad Ibrahim, Jiemin, Xishan, Yishun Primary, Chongfu), buses 800, 812, 856, 858, and 859 run straight along Yishun Ring Road and Yishun Avenue down to Sembawang Shopping Centre. Plenty of our parents simply have their child hop on the bus after school and walk in the door on their own.
Right by Sembawang MRT
Canberra Primary is just a few minutes from us, right along the same MRT line. A steady stream of Canberra students head straight to our centre after the last bell.
Around the Corner
Endeavour Primary is practically our neighbour. Kids from Endeavour make up one of our largest school groups, many arriving on foot straight after school lets out.
A Short Hop Down Sembawang Drive
Northoaks families know us well. A quick bus ride down Sembawang Drive brings their kids straight to our door, uniform and all.
Neighbours Since Day One
Wellington Primary has been sending students our way for years. Being this close means less travel time and more time actually learning.
Just Down the Road
One of the nearest schools to our centre. Plenty of our students walk over straight after school, still in uniform, backpack in hand.
A Familiar Name for a Reason
Most of our Yishun Primary families found us through word of mouth. That trust has built up for over a decade, and it shows in our reviews today.
Where the "Aha" Moments Happen
Many Jiemin students join us around Primary 3 or 4, right when Paper 2 sums start getting tricky. Our +thinkingMath programme is built for exactly that stretch.
Worth the Extra Few Minutes
Xishan families travel a touch further, and they keep coming back. Consistent coaching that doesn't rely on cramming is worth the extra few minutes.
A Growing Group of Chongfu Students
Chongfu is a little further out along Yishun Avenue 6, but we've built a genuine following there over the years, kids who ride the bus over, get their lesson in, and head home with homework already half-solved in their heads.

Which primary schools near Sembawang and Yishun does Oodles Math serve?
We regularly welcome students from Canberra, Chongfu, Endeavour, Jiemin, Northoaks, Wellington, Xishan, and Yishun Primary, along with Ahmad Ibrahim Primary and other schools across the neighbourhood. If your child's school isn't listed here, we very likely still serve your area, just ask us.
What age or level can my child start at Oodles Math Sembawang?
We take students from K2 all the way through Sec 4. PopsicleMath covers K2–P1, +thinkingMath covers P2–P6, and PaceUp carries students through secondary school, so your child can stay with us as they move up.
Does Oodles Math follow the school syllabus, or is it a separate curriculum?
Same topics, same sequence as school. We build on exactly what your child is learning in class, adding the reading strategies and problem-solving toolkit that turn "I don't get it" into "I've got this."
My child is struggling with math right now. Is it too late to start?
Not at all. A good number of our students join us mid-year, sometimes mid-term, exactly because they're stuck. Our coaches assess where the gaps are first, then build the lessons around closing them, not around where the rest of the class happens to be.
