Harry

Chemistry and Biology

Chemistry guru who brings science to life with real-world examples — turning even the toughest topics into something every student can grasp, including humanities majors.

About

Harry began studying in the UK at age 12, attending Wellington College on a Top Scholarship for five years of secondary school. He went on to earn both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Biochemistry from the University of Oxford, completing a semester of postgraduate research at Princeton University on exchange. While he had the option to pursue a research career after graduation, his passion for teaching led him to found GuruMe and dedicate himself to mentoring IB students full-time.
