"Hello! My name is Hiya (pronounced hee-yuh) Kaul, and I’m a second-year Biopsychology (pre-med) major at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I’ve had the opportunity to tutor a wide range of age groups throughout high school, helping students in everything from English literacy to biology and chemistry. I consistently scored 4s and 5s on my science and English AP exams, and I bring that same level of academic rigor and curiosity to my tutoring sessions. Whether we’re preparing for a test, reviewing class material, or tackling difficult homework problems, I strive to meet students where they’re at and help them build confidence step by step. I’m patient, approachable, and genuinely enjoy finding creative ways to make complex topics easier to understand.

Outside of tutoring, I’m involved in academic research through a psychology lab on campus, where I use critical thinking and data analysis skills daily. I’m also a published author, which has sharpened my ability to communicate clearly. This is something I bring into every tutoring session. I believe that learning should feel empowering, not intimidating, and I aim to create a supportive environment that encourages curiosity and growth. Whether your goals are to improve grades, prepare for AP exams, or simply gain a deeper understanding of the material, I’d love to help you get there!" less...
