Hello,

I’m Jen Moloney — Speech Pathologist, accredited NSW Primary School Teacher, and founder of The Empowered Learner. My unique background in both education and speech pathology allows me to support the vital connection between spoken language, reading, writing and learning.

I work with children to build the speech, language, literacy, and mathematical foundations they need to communicate confidently and thrive at school and in everyday life.

I believe that each child is an individual, is unique and can learn by being guided along their own unique, tailor-made learning pathway. I am committed to ongoing professional development, and I utilise evidence based approaches and strategies to implement high quality practice to assist each child’s specific needs.
