My Story
Hey, I’m Salonie - founder, drama queen (good kind), and your biggest cheerleader at Yellow Brick Way. Been at this for 15 years, diploma in hand, files from way back still in use! Teaching over 1000 students, watching them grow, even seeing one turn intern - that’s my jam. YBW? More than classes. It’s a wild, messy, magical family where stage-shy kids turn into confident stars, with a dash of sass and sparkle.
My Work
Speech & Drama, Communication, Reading - We run classes for all ages, from speech and drama to reading and vocabulary building. Trinity College London exam prep too.
Fun, Creative Learning - Costumes, props, games, shadow puppets - our classes are chaos and magic. Memories made in messy moments.
Impromptu Speaking Skills - We throw students curveballs - objects, topics, whatever. Think mad hatter, present like a CEO.
Group and One-on-One Classes - Group sessions for teamwork, one-on-one for personal growth and safe sharing. Both matter equally.
Trinity College London Exam Preparation - We prep kids for GESE exams with Trinity’s structure, but our YBW twist keeps it real and creative.
