Life at Yellow Brick Way
From magic dress-up days to Trinity exam triumphs, take a peek at the fun, messy, and rewarding work we do to build confident speakers.
This is what learning with joy looks like. In our "Magic Dress Up Day," we use costumes and props to spark imagination, helping even the shyest children find their voice and build confidence through creative play.
We turn stories into a magical experience with shadow puppets. This activity is fantastic for encouraging teamwork, creative expression, and public speaking as students work together to bring their tales to life.
It's not just about reading the words, it's about presenting them. Here, two of my students demonstrate the fundamental skills we teach for reading aloud, from proper posture to making confident eye contact with the audience.
Our classroom is a space for shared learning. Sitting in a circle for interactive reading sessions helps build a sense of community, encouraging students to ask questions and discuss stories together.
From the page to the stage! Watch as one of my students confidently performs a monologue as the eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka, showcasing the character development and performance skills we nurture in class.
We make vocabulary building a team sport with our own version of Scrabble. This game is a fun, collaborative way for students to learn new words and practice their spelling in a hands-on way.
Mastering tricky words is a key part of clear communication. In this fun phonology exercise, my students work on the correct pronunciation of commonly mispronounced words, building their diction and clarity.
We celebrate achievements, big and small. Here is one of our Group Drama teams, who not only had fun preparing for their Trinity College exams but also achieved distinctions, with our highest score at 92!
About Featured
Our classroom is rarely quiet; it is a hive of activity where we use props, costumes, and impromptu games to lower the pressure of public speaking. We believe in the power of the 'messy'—if a student is truly engaged while learning diction or sentence structure, the knowledge sticks.
Our Approach to Learning
We don't just teach English as a subject; we use it as a tool for self-expression. By mixing structured Trinity College London curriculum with creative play, we ensure that students, from ages 4 to 18, find their voice without the anxiety often associated with public speaking. Whether it is a shadow puppet show to practice storytelling or a game of Scrabble to improve vocabulary, our methods are designed to build skills in a low-pressure environment.
What Happens in Our Classes
- Structured Speech & Drama: We focus on the 'Big 4' skills: pause, phrasing, emphasis, and pitch. This helps students move beyond just reading words to truly performing them.
- Gamified Vocabulary: We swap standard drills for interactive word games. This makes abstract concepts like sentence structure and pronunciation feel like a team sport rather than a chore.
- Confidence Through Play: The magic bag exercises, role-playing, and character work allow even the shyest students to explore different personas, which translates into real-world confidence in interviews and group settings.
Where We Are
We operate out of Yellow Brick Way in Juhu, Mumbai, and conduct sessions at SONOROUS in Vapi, Gujarat. We offer small group sessions for teamwork and one-on-one assessments for students who need a more tailored roadmap to tackle reading lags or specific exam goals.
Yellow Brick Way
I'm Salonie. I started Yellow Brick Way because I believe every child—especially the quiet ones—has a story worth telling. We are all about turning classroom chaos into genuine confidence through drama, reading, and a bit of performance magic.
