“Hi! I’m Erin, I’m a fourth year BSc psychology student. My first two years were quite humbling for me as I didn’t really know the skills or tricks that worked for me when it came to studying for uni-level courses. Over the years I’ve found many tricks, techniques, and methods to not only memorize, but understand and truly learn. I want to help you not only get through your next exam, quiz, or assignment, but I want to equip you with the tools to succeed in all sorts of tasks and challenges that university throws at you.“

Sophia Nadeau-Karnik (she/her)

Available Courses:

“Sophia is a third year psychology student, with a passion for reading anything she can get her hands on. In her spare time she likes to knit, play violin and buy herself overpriced lattes for studying at the library or perusing Whyte Ave. Even though you’ll meet her for some tutoring, she’d be more than happy to chat about almost anything you’re interested in too (outside and within the topic of psychology). She hasn’t taken a psychology class that she hasn’t been interested in, and if you’re curious she could probably teach you a thing or two about linguistics as well! If you see her napping in the Cameron library be sure to wake her up and say hi!“

“Hi, I’m Aneesha! I’m a psychology student who loves helping people make sense of tricky concepts. My tutoring style is patient, supportive, and low-pressure. I focus on breaking things down in a way that actually clicks. I’m good at explaining ideas in multiple ways, adapting to different learning styles, and building confidence along the way. I want sessions to feel comfortable and collaborative, where asking questions is encouraged and mistakes are part of learning.“

I enjoy making complex topics feel simple and approachable by breaking them down in clear, easy-to-understand ways. I have experience with both research and hands-on lab work, so I understand how to approach material from multiple angles. Outside of school, I enjoy video games and staying active. I’m friendly, patient, and excited to help students succeed.“
