Geetha Dhananjayan

Academic Mentor

I'm an educator, homeschooling mentor, and lifelong learner. Having homeschooled my own children, I understand the excitement and uncertainty of choosing an alternative educational path.

If you’re exploring alternatives to conventional schooling, I can help you navigate recognised curricula and learning pathways to find what works best for your child and family.

My superpower: Making learning simple, meaningful, and joyful.

Athira Pillai

Documentation & Storytelling

I love noticing the little things—the spark in a child's eyes, the messy moments of discovery, and the stories hidden in everyday learning. For me, every child has a story worth telling, and it's a privilege to help preserve those memories. 

Something I love: Watching children enjoy moments of silence in this noisy world.

Amrutha P

Learning Facilitator & Communications

I'm usually the first friendly voice you'll hear from Walking Ferns. I stay connected with parents and volunteers, share updates, and keep our WhatsApp community buzzing. I also spend time with children as a learning facilitator, which is easily my favourite part of the day.

Fun fact: I've read the same picture book ten times and still laugh at it every single time.

Sneha Susan Mathew

Manager – Operations

I help keep the day-to-day operations at Walking Ferns running smoothly, overseeing administration, finance, and HR. I'm also a mental health professional who believes in creating a safe, welcoming community where people of all ages can learn, grow, and be themselves.

My superpower: Bringing clarity to chaos—both in systems and in people.

Something I love: Music, art, and meaningful conversations.

Gautham Sarang

Founder & Learning Director

I'm passionate about creating learning environments where children can develop curiosity, responsibility, and a strong sense of self. Through Walking Ferns, I work with families, facilitators, and children to explore alternatives to conventional education and design meaningful learning experiences rooted in real life.

My superpower: Asking questions that make people think differently.

Something I love: Music, woodwork, outdoors, and time with my loved ones

Fun fact: I feel the same excitement about learning something new today as I did when I was a child.
