Meet the Educators Behind Yellow Brick Way
Behind every expressive child is a teacher who knows how to make magic happen. Get to know the faces guiding our students in Mumbai and Vapi.
Meet our founder, Salonie Patel. With an ATCL Diploma from Trinity College London and over 15 years of experience, she is the "good kind of Drama Queen" who transforms shy kids into confident stars.
At Yellow Brick Way, we believe every child's story begins with an amazing teacher. Our team is the core of the magic we create in every class.
Meet our Assistant Teacher and Creative Lead, Radhika Mehta. As a homegrown gem who went from student to mentor, she brings creativity, care, and a deep understanding of our process to the team.
Meet our Admin Extraordinaire, Lyanne Creado. The silent storm behind the scenes, she is the organizational wizard who ensures everything runs smoothly so our teachers and students can focus on the magic.
Meet our Senior Teacher, Priti Shroff. As the heart of the classroom for over 7 years, she is an idea machine and the ultimate kid magnet, bringing holistic growth to life with a firm but gentle approach.

About Meet the Magic Makers: Our Team
We do not just hire teachers with certifications, though our team holds credentials ranging from Trinity College London diplomas to ECCEd qualifications. We look for the 'kid magnet' quality—that rare ability to turn a quiet classroom into a space where a shy child finally speaks up. Every team member here is a practitioner who balances structured training with the messy, joyful, real-world drama that helps children build actual confidence.
Why Our Team Matters
At Yellow Brick Way, we believe that education is about more than just the curriculum. It is about the people who deliver it. When you walk into our classes, you are not just walking into a room; you are joining a group of people who are genuinely invested in your child's growth.
Combining Experience with Creativity
Our team is a blend of long-standing expertise and fresh perspectives. Whether it is Salonie’s 15-year journey from student to mentor, or Radhika’s growth from a student at our studio to our Creative Lead, our team is built on a foundation of long-term development. Priti, our anchor with over seven years at the studio, ensures that our classrooms remain spaces where kids feel safe to take risks and experiment with performance.
Consistency Across Locations
We have extended this same magic to our Vapi branch with Nazneen, ensuring that no matter which location you visit, you receive the same signature blend of phonics, performance, and play. Our backend operations, led by Lyanne, handle the logistics so that our teachers can focus entirely on the students. We are here to help you navigate your child's journey, whether you have questions about Trinity College London exam requirements, or you simply need advice on which batch fits your child’s current needs.
Yellow Brick Way
We are a family of drama queens, creative leads, and organizational wizards who believe in the power of play. We are not here to lecture; we are here to walk alongside your child as they find their confidence, their voice, and their stage presence.
