Hi, I’m Vicky.
As an officially accredited Jolly Phonics trainer, I thrive on harnessing the power of phonics to support educators and students.
I am committed to making learning fun and multi-sensory, empowering teachers to foster a love for reading and writing in their students.
At Jibber Jabber Phonics, I believe every child can become a confident reader and writer. My mission is to provide top-quality, engaging phonics training for educators and close the literacy gap, one sound at a time.
I began my career teaching English in the Maldives
Initially unsure about phonics, a “Jolly Phonics” workshop transformed my perspective. Now, I’m passionate about helping teachers and parents decode their chosen phonics programmes and become confident in teaching phonics.
My experiences teaching overseas highlighted the need for effective phonics training. This motivated me to support educators worldwide with hands-on, practical training.
Where it all began
When I first started teaching, phonics felt like a mystery to me. I looked at the songs, stories, and actions and thought, “What is going on here?” Unsure of how to approach it, I avoided teaching phonics in my lessons for many years.
A spark was lit
When I attended a two-day “Jolly Phonics” workshop. Initially hesitant, I quickly realised the power of phonics through the enthusiasm of my trainers.
And the fire grew
While teaching abroad, I saw dedicated educators working hard but struggling with limited resources and phonics knowledge. This realisation motivated me to take action and expand my reach to support more teachers.
My next steps
During this time, I saw firsthand that every classroom—no matter the background—deserves quality education. I learned to adapt, embrace cultural differences, and meet the universal need for effective phonics teaching. By refining my training and mentoring skills, I made phonics accessible, engaging, and practical for all teachers. This experience reinforced my belief in hands-on, real-world training that empowers educators to bring phonics to life in any classroom.
