Future PhD Chemist | Expert Chemistry Tutor | College Level

Dominic S.

Hi, I'm Dominic!
I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and an Associate of Science in Pre-Pharmacy, along with minors in Mathematics and Biology, from Pennsylvania Western University–California (formerly CalU). In August 2025, I’ll begin my PhD in Chemistry at Indiana University Bloomington.

One of the most rewarding parts of college for me was forming lasting friendships and working alongside incredible professors who challenged and supported me. Now, I’m excited to pay it forward by helping others reach their academic goals in science and math.

During my undergraduate years, I worked as a Supplemental Instruction Leader—a role that allowed me to guide students through high-fail-rate courses like General Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, and Calculus. I’ve spent over three years leading both small group sessions and full-classroom reviews (up to 40 students), helping students not only pass their courses but truly understand the material.

My tutoring approach is highly adaptable: I tailor each session to the student's needs, focusing on clarity, accessibility, and critical thinking. Whether it’s building foundational concepts or tackling complex problems, I aim to make learning feel achievable and even enjoyable.

I welcome questions, suggestions, and feedback—during or between sessions—and I strive to create a collaborative and encouraging learning environment. If you're looking for someone who combines subject mastery with a student-centered approach, I’d love to work with you. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a session. I look forward to helping you succeed!
