Bryan Yong
Bryan Yong
Bryan Yong (MEng, Cambridge) has spent 12 years coaching students in STEM and mentoring many into top universities. Today, he focuses on STEM foundations for ages 5–11. He designs the programmes and builds custom experiment rigs you won’t find in schools.
"In 12 years, I've watched one pattern repeat across more than a hundred students I've mentored into top universities: the kids who win aren't the most tutored. They want the work. They have intrinsic motivation, can sit with difficulty, and think from first principles."
Flashpoint exists to engineer these habits early: we make hard things doable and constantly nuture curiosity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Curriculum Coverage
While not all schools are the same and may cover different topics at different paces, the programme is designed to touch on all the core Science concepts and topics holistically. We often leverage on physical props and analogies to explain the ‘invisible’ aspects of Science. We believe in the benefit of early exposure and often push the kids to their upper limits. For example, looking at water pressure and water flow as an analogy to electricity or using marbles to talk about fundamental particle theory. Parents are often surprised when their little ones share their understanding!
Difficulty-adjusted Written Work
At Flashpoint, we believe in carefully balancing the result-oriented academics with the joy of play and surprising Science phenomena. We believe that when children are given the opportunity to dive into an area of interest, they will absorb and retain significantly more information. As such, in certain topics of interest, we may touch upon concepts and phenomena well beyond their curriculum and will tackle complex questions and scientific inquiries together. This is all tracked and shared back to parents as “at level”, “ahead of level”, or “beyond curriculum” in the various disciplines of Science.
Hands-on Experiments
Wherever possible, every lesson includes a hands-on and physical representation of the topic. From electricity to plants, the kids get to touch, see, and experience their learning first-hand.
STEM Enrichment and Applications
We also believe in contextualising their lessons to applications in both a relatable and global context. We highly encourage long tangents in lessons. Some lessons, it may be about a personal experience or a question a student has. In others, we may go from learning about plastics to how they can be broken down through lab-grown bacteria. Every week, we also cover the latest breaking news in STEM and distil it down for the kids. One recent breakthrough was the very first private launch to the Moon, opening up opportunities for cargo sharing (e.g. Lalamove) and cost reductions from private companies ‘profit maximising’ models.
