Elizabeth founded Manhattan speech, language, and literacy with the mission of
spreading her love of reading to all.
Elizabeth's expertise lies at the intersection of language & learning. As a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist and Teacher with a decade of classroom experience, she is uniquely positioned to understand the complexities of speaking and reading acquisition.
Elizabeth works with students at-home in New York or internationally via Zoom. Every session is tailored to the individual strengths and interests of the student utilizing a cognitive-based, multisensory, emotionally sound approach.
