Adjunct Professor & Advanced Math Tutor | Calculus, Differential

Dominic C.

I am currently an adjunct professor at Harper College and hold a Master's degree in Earth, Atmosphere, and Environment from Northern Illinois University, as well as a Bachelor's degree in Finance from DePaul University. Mathematics has been a central part of both my academic and professional career. My graduate coursework and research required extensive use of calculus, differential equations, statistics, and data analysis, and I continue to apply these concepts regularly in both teaching and scientific work.

Over the years, I have taught and tutored students from a wide variety of backgrounds and experience levels. In addition to my work as an adjunct professor, I previously served as an Academic Assistant at the College of DuPage, where I worked one-on-one and in small groups with students taking algebra, precalculus, calculus, statistics, and other college-level mathematics courses. My experience ranges from helping students build foundational skills to guiding them through advanced topics that can initially feel overwhelming.

My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and focused on true understanding. I believe students learn mathematics best when they understand the reasoning behind each step rather than memorizing procedures. I enjoy breaking down difficult concepts into manageable pieces and adapting my explanations to the way each student learns. My goal is not only to help students improve their grades, but also to help them develop confidence and become independent problem solvers who can approach challenging material with confidence.
