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.

Teaching Style

Concept-first instruction

Concepts before procedures, then immediate IB-style problem practice to lock them in.

Real-world analogies

Heavy chemistry and biology content made memorable through everyday parallels.

Tree-diagram techniques

Visual frameworks that turn complex topic networks into clear study maps.

Ideal for: students considering biochemistry, medicine, or life sciences
