I remember that at the anode oxidation occurs because they are both vowels and it's the opposite with the cathode. This is for both electrochemical and electrolytic cells, but remember the charges switch with electrolytic because the polarity has changed. Hope this helps
I like to remember that at the cathode reduction occurs by using the idea:
A CAT goes Rawwr
CAThode = Reduction
₍⸍⸌̣ʷ̣̫⸍̣⸌₎
