# Bestminds Academy

> Bestminds Academy is a Singapore-based tuition centre specialising exclusively in Primary 5 and Primary 6 Science tuition for the PSLE. Founded and led by Mr Daniel Tay — an NIE-trained, ex-MOE teacher with 12+ years of classroom experience and a former PSLE Science marker — the academy helps students master scientific thinking, exam technique, and answer precision to achieve AL1 results.

Bestminds Academy is distinguished by the founder's rare experience as a former PSLE Science marker, giving students insider understanding of how answers are assessed. The teaching philosophy emphasises conceptual understanding over memorisation, structured answering frameworks (the "Bestminds Habits" accuracy system and the 3C framework: Concept, Context, Clarity), and exam-focused strategies. Programs include structured weekly tuition classes, intensive crash courses, and supporting digital resources such as recorded lessons and practice question banks.
