Hi, ya :) I’m Uni, an educational researcher, counsellor, and personal growth practitioner, with a background in both education and psychology. In the past 30 years of my life, I have studied and worked in different educational institutions, from kindergarten to the Ph.D. program, as a student, teacher, counsellor, and researcher, in both China and Canada. I became a self-driven learner and self-exploration practitioner. At present, I live in Canada with my significant ones and best friends. I have much experience in school life (especially university life) and academia working environment (the working environment for an undergraduate or graduate student, a research assistant, or a professor). In my spare time, I love reading, meditation, and exploring the boundaries of my life (trying to be a mentor, exploring different career possibilities, meeting cool people around the world online, etc.). So I also have some experience in career/life transition and personal growth. Due to my learning and working experience, I got a lot of expertise in education and psychology. That means I might be helpful in your education life and personal growth. Especially, one of my research topics is children’s language and reading development. If you need help on this, just schedule a session. To enumerate, if you want to have someone to talk with you about the following topics, I might be an option for you. 1. Personal growth. Life is not easy for everyone, and personal growth is always an important topic throughout our life. If you want to share your story with someone, I’m here for you. 2. Career & life transition. If you are facing big changes in your career or life, or if you are not sure whether you should start the change, you might feel confused or stressed. I would love to hear your story and share my experience with you. 3. Academia working environment/research life. If you are looking forward to becoming a research staff (graduate student, research associate, or professor) in a university and you are not sure whether this is for you, I do have a lot of experience to share with you. 4. University life. If you are a university student and you are confused about your future and your learning, I would love to have a chat with you. 5. Family education & Parent-child reading. If you have difficulties dealing with your kids or want to know more about parent-child reading, I might be helpful. 6. Chinese & Canadian culture. If you are a foreigner living in China or Canada and experiencing culture shock, I would love to talk with you. Last but not least: If possible, please provide a detailed or accurate description of your question. 你好呀! 我是Uni,一名教育研究者、个人教练和成长实践者。在我过去的30年,我在中国和加拿大不同的教育机构中学习和工作,分别担任学生、教师、心理咨询师和研究员的角色。目前,我和我的亲人以及最好的朋友一起生活在加拿大。 我在学校生活(尤其是大学生活)和学术工作环境(本科生、研究生、研究助理或教授的工作环境)方面有丰富的经验。在业余时间,我热爱阅读、冥想和探索生活的边界(尝试成为教练、探索不同的职业可能性、在网上结识世界各地的终身学习者等)。 我在教育和心理学领域积累了丰富的专业知识,这使我可能在教育、生活和个人成长方面为你提供帮助。如果你需要在这方面的帮助,请发起一个聊天。 总的来说,如果你想和别人谈论以下主题,我可能是一个选择: 1. 个人成长。对每个人来说,生活都不容易,个人成长始终是我们生活中的重要主题。如果你想与人分享你的故事,我会倾听。 2. 职业和生活转变。如果你在职业或生活中面临重大变化,或者不确定是否应该进行改变,你可能感到困惑或有压力。我愿意倾听你的故事并分享我的经验。 3. 学术工作环境/研究生活。如果你希望成为大学的研究人员(研究生、研究助理或教授),而不确定这是否适合你,我有很多经验可以分享。 4. 大学生活。如果你是一名大学生,对未来和学业感到困惑,我愿意与你聊天。 5. 家庭教育和亲子阅读。如果你在与孩子相处方面有困难,或者想更多了解亲子阅读,我可能会提供帮助。 6. 中国和加拿大文化。如果你是在中国或加拿大生活的外国人,正在经历文化冲击,我很愿意与你交流。 最后叮嘱一句,在发起会话的时候,请提供你问题的详细或准确描述,这样会极大方便我们之后的交流,谢谢!

我今年有了第二个宝宝,育儿的压力很大,希望能找到一种比较简单方便的育儿途径。我觉得阅读比较好,也希望孩子们能够从阅读中找到乐趣,养成读书习惯。但我不知道如何入手,Uni帮助我拓展了思路,给了我一些必要的指导,现在我觉得没有那么恐惧开始了。

Thanks for Uni Lee again when I change my environment again and enter a new field in my life. It's significant for me to quickly adapt in a new environment. Besides some academic advice, talking with Uni Lee always gives me a lot of new inspirations, including daily habits and attitudes towards life. Overall, she's a fantastic mentor!
