Siao-Charn Ling, Ph.D., is a bilingual (English/Mandarin) licensed educational psychologist and credentialed school psychologist. She was born and grew up in Singapore and has studied and lived in Australia and the Bay Area.
Dr. Ling realized her passion to work with students during her first job out of college as a middle school Math teacher. She saw her students struggling with math concepts but were further hindered by their limiting self-beliefs and poor study skills. This motivated Dr. Ling's pursuit of a graduate degree to better understand how children learn and how to motivate children to be the best that they can be. She firmly believes that every child can learn but each child may need different strategies that cater to their strengths and learning needs. In the last 15 years, Dr. Ling has taken on multiple roles within the educational setting: as a school-based therapist, school psychologist, Special Education coordinator, and university lecturer. She is committed to providing thorough assessments with accessible results and practical recommendations to her clients; teaching students how to develop their planning, organization, and effective study skills; and sharing resources with parents to support them as they support their children. 林晓婵博士是位教育心理学家。她出生成长于新加坡,并曾在澳大利亚及加州湾区求学生活。 大学毕业之后,林博士在初中担任数学老师。透过详细观察,她发现,部分学生不仅对数学概念有困难,而且也缺乏自信心以及正确的学习方式,导致事倍功半。这激发林博士继续深造的决心:她想多了解孩子们如何学习,而身为教育心理学工作者的她又致力于探索如何有效引导孩子们,积极向上地学习和生活。林博士坚信每个孩子都有强大的学习能力,关键在于家长与老师必须对孩子们因材施教,了解并培养孩子们的长处以及协助补足他们的学习需求。 在过去的15年间,林博士在教育界担任过不同职务:学校心理治疗师、教育心理学家、特殊教育主任、并于大学兼任教职。由始至终,林博士专精于提供详细评估,以清楚易懂的分析结果,提供实际的建议。她也尽心尽力教导学生如何善用执行功能来有效地规划、组织并安排学习项目。与此同时,林博士也十分乐意与家长分享她的学习心得,借以协助家长建立坚强信心培育下一代。 |
