Hi, I’m Harrison! I hold a BS in Biochemistry from Rice University and am currently pursuing my PhD in Pharmacology at UNC-Chapel Hill. I have a strong foundation in the life sciences, with particular expertise in biology, chemistry, and math.

I’ve worked with students at both the high school and college levels, including those preparing for AP exams, college finals, and standardized tests like the SAT and ACT. In undergrad, I served as a teaching assistant for honors organic chemistry for two semesters, and I’ve also volunteered in science outreach and career mentoring programs for middle and high school students.

I understand how tough these subjects can be—and I enjoy breaking them down into manageable, intuitive concepts that truly click. Whether you're reviewing for an exam, struggling with a tough topic, or just want to deepen your understanding, I’m here to help.

My tutoring style is patient, flexible, and tailored to each student’s needs. I believe in meeting students where they are—whether that means reviewing the basics, working through problem sets together, or exploring advanced topics with more depth. I enjoy using real-world examples and analogies to make the material more relatable and memorable. My goal is to not only help you improve your grades but also build your confidence and enthusiasm for science. I’ve worked with a wide range of learners, and I’m always excited to see students grow and succeed.

Algebra 2

Algebra 2

As a PhD student in Pharmacology with a strong quantitative background, I bring a clear and supportive approach to Algebra 2. I’ve helped high school students strengthen their understanding of core algebraic concepts, from quadratics and rational expressions to functions and systems of equations. I focus on building confidence and problem-solving skills through guided practice and step-by-step explanations. My goal is to help students not only succeed in class but also develop lasting comfort with math.
Biochemistry

Biochemistry

I hold a BS in Biochemistry from Rice University and am currently pursuing a PhD in Pharmacology at UNC-Chapel Hill. I’ve tutored college students in biochemistry courses ranging from intro to advanced, and I have firsthand experience with the subject’s role in pre-med, biology, and pharmacology tracks. I focus on helping students understand mechanisms, pathways, and molecular interactions in a way that builds both conceptual clarity and exam confidence. Whether you’re reviewing lecture material or tackling problem sets, I aim to make the content approachable and logical.
Biology

Biology

I hold a BS in Biochemistry and am currently pursuing a PhD in Pharmacology at UNC-Chapel Hill. I’ve worked extensively with both high school and college students on biology topics ranging from general biology to AP and advanced coursework. I also volunteer in science outreach programs, helping younger students build confidence and interest in STEM. My tutoring style focuses on clarity and engagement, using real-world examples and personalized strategies to make even the most complex material feel intuitive.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I hold a BS in Biochemistry from Rice University and am currently pursuing my PhD in Pharmacology at UNC-Chapel Hill. I’ve worked with high school and college students on a wide range of chemistry topics, from general and honors chemistry to AP and college-level organic chemistry. I also served as a teaching assistant for honors organic chemistry during undergrad, where I guided students through challenging problem sets and lab concepts. My approach focuses on building a strong conceptual foundation while helping students apply what they’ve learned through clear, step-by-step reasoning.
Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

As a PhD candidate in Pharmacology at UNC-Chapel Hill with a B.S. in Biochemistry from Rice University, I bring a strong foundation in organic chemistry. I served as a teaching assistant for two semesters in Honors Organic Chemistry, where I led review sessions and helped students tackle complex topics like reaction mechanisms, synthesis, and spectroscopy. I focus on making organic chemistry approachable and relevant by tailoring sessions to each student’s needs and learning style.

Excellent tutor! Very patient!

I had Harrison help tutor me for my university O-Chem final, and he went above and beyond! He was very thorough with material, and set a comprehensive plan on how to tackle the material. I went from looking at a failing grade on my final to getting an 85 within a little over a week! If it wasn’t for him I would have probably not passed my class

Tutor responded:

Dixon – Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m really proud of the progress you made in such a short time. It was a pleasure working with you, and I wish you all the best in your future studies!

Incredible Honors Chemistry Tutor

My 8th-grade daughter is taking Honors Chemistry this year alongside high school students. She struggled to adjust to her teacher’s teaching style and ended up with quite a few gaps in her understanding of the material. Just two weeks before her final exam, we found Harrison. Harrison is extremely knowledgeable and explains concepts in a way that my daughter understands immediately. We scheduled 1-hour lessons with him over the course of 8–9 days, and together they reviewed almost all of the material she had learned throughout the school year. She now feels much more confident with the content. I only wish we had found and started working with Harrison earlier!

amazing at helping with orgo 1

Super helpful and very good at explaining things! Would 100% recommend! I started using him a few days before the final when I didn’t feel good at all and now I feel much more confident!

Great tutor!

Harrison is a great and effective tutor. He helped my daughter prepare for the AP Bio exam a week prior. She felt she got a lot out of the lessons, specifically his ability to clarify concepts in a digest able manner and help apply them to practice questions. They were able to cover a lot of material in each lesson. I would highly recommend him as a tutor. Very happy to have found him. Wish we found Harrison earlier in the semester.

Great tutor who knows how to make things seem simple

Harrison always manages to demystify problems my daughter struggles with. He seems to make it very easy to understand when her teachers don’t. This is our second year turning to him for help, this time was for SAT prep.

Knowledgeable and patient

My daughter was struggling with material for a chemistry honors test and needed further guidance and better understanding VSEPR models. Harrison explained it making it easier for her to understand. He was patient, knowledgeable and checked her understanding throughout. She would not have done so well on her test without Harrison's help.

Harrison was amazing for my anxious teen

Harrison did such a great job helping my son get comfortable with his Honors Chemistry homework. To paint the picture, ahead of the tutoring session my son was frustrated and worried he would not be able to grasp the material. By the time the session was over my son came to me with his head held high saying that Chemistry was fun when you knew what you were doing! Amazing tutor!!!

Hairrison is great!

Harrison has been a fabulous tutor for my 15 year old for her honors chemistry class. Thanks to him, She’s gone from overwhelm to treading water to feeling in control of the subject in the last 2 months.

A Wonderful Experience with an Exceptional Biology Tutor

Our son was struggling with inconsistent grades in Biology during his first semester of college, and Harrison was truly a godsend. Not only did he help improve our son’s grades, but he did so with remarkable patience, clarity, and encouragement. He has a real gift for breaking down complex concepts in a way that makes them understandable and manageable. We genuinely don’t think we could have made it through this semester without his invaluable support. We are deeply grateful for all he has done and would wholeheartedly recommend Harrison to anyone looking for an exceptional Biology tutor!
