Harrison Petrone

Our newest addition to Top Tier Test Prep, Harrison is a proud graduate of University of Massachusetts Amherst. Majoring in History, he excelled in his coursework, receiving Latin distinctions along with overwhelming praise from faculty. Working as a research assistant on a distinguished professor’s latest book, an experience he describes as “an immersive foray into the world of historical research and writing,” Harrison developed a love of one-on-one collaborative learning that led him to test prep instruction. He plans to continue his study of History in graduate school with a focus on information exchange in Colonial America, to pursue a career in higher education, and to further his passion for historical writing.

Harrison’s love for the written word extends beyond his personal goal of becoming a published writer into elevating the student’s Test Prep experience through clear and creative explanations of the rules of grammar and punctuation. Additionally, his meaningful engagement with and adept comprehension of college level texts have enabled him to improve students’ grasp of even the most complex test material. Finally, Harrison thrives in the role of mentor; as a young instructor, he loves connecting with the student in ways that transcend the tests to enrich the student’s intellectual life.  

Having been trained by master tutor Alyssa Petrone – a brilliant educator with thousands of hours of experience and a wealth of knowledge upon which to draw - Harrison has married his academic expertise with Top Tier Test Prep’s phenomenally successful techniques, nuanced level of insight, and unmatched emotional support to help students achieve the scores of their dreams! With Harrison on the team, TTTP is now excited to offer expert preparation for AP U.S. and World History, AP Language and Composition, and AP Literature.
