About Theirren
Hi there! I’m a third-year Bachelor of Arts in Psychology student at the University of Ottawa, with a very strong academic record and a passion for helping others succeed in their studies. I specialize in breaking down complex psychological theories and research methods into clear, engaging, and relatable lessons. Whether you're a high school student preparing for your psychology exams, or a first- or second-year university student in need of extra support, I’m here to help you feel more confident and in control of your learning. As a university student myself, I find that there is often some disconnect and a lack of relatability between students and teachers/professors. I'd like to help bridge that gap and make learning stress-free. A bit about my academic excellence and accomplishments: - Ontario Scholar upon graduating high school and on Honor Roll every year in high school - Awarded the Human Growth and Development Subject Award upon graduating high school for achieving the highest grade in a psychology-focused course - Received an admission scholarship for graduating high school with an average above a 93% - Current CGPA is above an 8.3 - Dean's Honor List in University - Involved in the Cognition and Anxiety Studies Laboratory at the University of Ottawa, led by Dr. Andrea Ashbaugh I have a strong foundation across various areas of psychology, including: - Child & adolescent development - Social and cultural psychology - Behavioral neuroscience - Research methods and ethics - Psychometric methods - Anthropology and sociology related to health, family, and society

Teaching Methodology and Techniques: As a third-year psychology student, my tutoring approach is built on empathy, clarity, and academic rigor. I focus on: Student-Led Learning: - I encourage active participation and tailor each session to the student’s goals, whether that’s understanding key concepts, improving essay skills, or preparing for exams. Simplifying Complex Ideas: - I break down theories, models, and research findings into digestible, relatable explanations using real-world examples. Evidence-Based Techniques: - I use study strategies grounded in cognitive psychology (like spaced repetition and retrieval practice) to help students retain and apply what they learn. Interactive and Reflective Practice: - Sessions include discussion, mini quizzes, and essay planning to deepen critical thinking and self-awareness in learning. A Typical Lesson Plan: A typical tutoring session is flexible but structured to ensure clear progress: Check-In (5 mins) - Brief catch-up and review of the last session or assigned work. Session Objectives (5 mins) - We set a clear focus, whether it's mastering a topic like cognitive development or working on a past paper. Core Topic Work (20–30 mins) - Clear explanation of the topic, key studies and theories, with guided notes and discussion. - Activities might include evaluating theories, comparing perspectives, or applying to scenarios. Active Application (15–20 mins) - Practice with exam-style questions, essay outlines, or flashcard review. Review and Reflection (5–10 mins) - Recap key takeaways, identify any gaps, and plan next steps or homework. What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor Peer Perspective: - I’m currently studying psychology myself, so I understand the common challenges students face—especially with theory-heavy content, memorization, or critical evaluation. Academic Support + Study Skills: - I go beyond just content—I also teach students how to organize notes, approach essays, and study effectively. Friendly & Approachable: - As a peer tutor, I create a relaxed and supportive learning environment that encourages confidence and curiosity. Up-to-Date Knowledge: - Being an active student means I’m familiar with current course structures, assessment expectations, and recent research trends. Who My Lessons Are For: I offer tutoring for: - High school students newly immersing themselves into psychology - Undergraduate psychology students (1st/2nd year) - Students new to psychology (personal interest/preparing to enter the field) - Neurodivergent or anxious learners

Theirren was my tutor for a couple university-level psychology classes. She is extremely dedicated to ensuring you understand your material in depth. She gets to know your learning style as a student, but also your motivations as a person, tailoring her tutoring approach accordingly. I could tell from my very first session that she cares both about my academic success as well as my mental wellness and sense of competency. Theirren is also deeply passionate about psychology and it truly shows -- she will put in the work to ensure you feel absolutely confident after every session. I highly recommend you seek tutoring by Theirren if you want to excel in your psychology courses!
