Dr. S.V. Gomathi
Education Consultant and Trainer
Dr. S.V. Gomathi (PhD in Education) is currently working as Education Consultant for private and government schools. She has done pilot studies in various field, which she specialises, like; micro-finance for Budget Private Schools, Voucher Scheme and Parental Choice and English Language Programme. She is the first to trial Jolly Phonics in the year 2003 for ESL children in Hyderabad, India and found the programme helped children achieve an outstanding result. This directed her to recommend Jolly Phonics to schools and parents across the country. Her vision is to empower children through quality education with a special emphasis on English and to provide children access to good quality schools.
She has trained more than 35000 teachers in India and abroad (since 2003 till date). She is the first to trial Jolly Phonics in Delhi government schools through ARK (NGO) later a roll out in West Khasi Hills, Meghalaya – an Education Ministry of Meghalaya initiative. Her interest to empower government schools and children studying in government schools started paving way for the Jolly Futures Programme in India. She is one of the very active trainers in India who is working to advocate Jolly Phonics in all the primary schools in the country. Her research study shows an incredible result in government schools after the implementation of Jolly Phonics. She has created an awareness in south India where now the districts and states welcome her to implement Jolly Phonics in the government primary schools. She could achieve this level of success with the help of CEO of Jolly Learning Limited, Mr. Chris Jolly. His confidence in her work and the support he gave her all the time, took her to the level of success. Her recent achievements are pilot studies in selective districts of Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Karnataka and the roll out in Tamil Nadu (Nilgiri, Cuddalore, Krishnagiri, Erode, Ramanathapuram, and Kanyakumari). She is now going to roll out Jolly Phonics in three south Indian states namely; Tamil Nadu (Coimbatore, Thanjavur, Salem and Tiruvannamalai Districts), Telangana (Mehboob Nagar Districts) and Karnataka (Ramanagara District).
She strongly believes that one can become a trainer only when they practically implement in the classroom, so she continues to teach children age between 3.5 & above. Her classes are held in Navi Mumbai. She restricts the number of children in each intake to deliver quality service and help the children achieve to read and write independently. She also handles one-one sessions for children who need special attention. Dr. SV Gomathi travels across India providing training, mentoring service and curriculum development for pre-primary to class 2 in private and government schools. She is open to travel anywhere in the world.
