About ThinkOtter
The basics
ThinkOtter is an AI-powered English tutor for Singapore primary school students preparing for PSLE Paper 2 comprehension. Your child reads a short passage and answers questions one at a time, while the tutor guides them with step-by-step hints instead of giving away the answer. It covers all 9 PSLE comprehension question types and produces a progress report for parents.
Primary 5 and Primary 6 students in Singapore (roughly ages 10 to 12) preparing for PSLE English Paper 2 comprehension. Passages and questions are written for the Primary 6 syllabus level and are suitable for their age.

How it teaches
The method
No. ThinkOtter guides your child instead of telling them the answer. When an answer needs work, the tutor never says "wrong"; it offers up to four levels of hints that point your child back to the passage, so they learn to find and justify answers themselves, which is exactly what the PSLE exam rewards.
When an answer needs more, ThinkOtter gives up to four levels of hints. It starts with a gentle nudge and becomes more specific only if your child is still stuck, always pointing back to a part of the passage rather than revealing the answer.
Every question earns Pebbles and there's no "fail" messaging. Correct answers trigger confetti, daily streaks build a habit, and a dashboard tracks first-try wins, so practice feels like a game your child wants to return to.
What it covers
PSLE coverage
All nine official PSLE Paper 2 comprehension question types: Direct Retrieval, Vocabulary in Context, Cause & Effect, Character Feelings & Traits, Author's Purpose & Message, Sequence of Events, Making Predictions, Summarising & Main Idea, and Personal Response. See each type explained.
Every correct answer earns Pebbles, which build up alongside daily streaks and first-try wins on a student dashboard. After each session ThinkOtter generates a report with strengths and areas to improve, broken down question by question and by PSLE question type.
For parents
Practical & safety
No. ThinkOtter checks every open-ended answer against PSLE marking standards, so comprehension never lands back on your to-do list. After each session you get a report showing exactly what to work on next.
That's fine. ThinkOtter guides and marks to the right PSLE standard, so your child still gets expert help even if English isn't your strong subject, isn't the main language at home, or a grandparent is on pick-up duty.
Any modern web browser, whether phone, tablet or laptop. On tablets and desktops the passage stays beside the questions; on phones it collapses neatly so your child can focus. There's nothing to install.
Yes. Your child's information is kept private and is never sold or shared with anyone else. The learning space has no ads and no external links, so it's a safe place for them to focus and practise.
Still have a question? The best answer is a session.
