About Me

My tutoring is structured, exam-focused, and adapted to each student. I usually begin by identifying the student’s main weaknesses: conceptual understanding, problem-solving, exam timing, data analysis, or confidence. From there, I build a personalised plan using targeted explanations, past-paper practice, and practical strategies for approaching unfamiliar questions.
I also provide the student with tips and tricks and revision/summary sheets.

I place strong emphasis on both understanding and exam performance. Some students need help memorising key content more efficiently; others need to develop deductive reasoning and apply concepts under time pressure. I adapt my approach depending on the student’s strengths, learning style, and target grade.

For IA and EE support, I draw on my experience as a scientist to help students understand experimental design, data processing, uncertainty, interpretation, and scientific writing. My goal is to guide students in developing and improving their own work ethically, while helping them reach a higher standard of scientific thinking and communication.

When useful, I provide students and parents with a short summary after each lesson, including what we covered, recurring weaknesses, and suggested next steps. This allows progress to be tracked clearly over time and helps each lesson build logically on the previous one.

My aim is to help students feel more confident, more independent, and better prepared for IB Chemistry assessments.

Tutor Experience

I am a Chemical Physicist and Chemistry tutor specialising in IB Chemistry HL/SL, GCSE Sciences, and IB IA/EE support.

I hold a PhD in Chemical Physics and a Master’s degree in Chemistry. After my PhD, I worked for four years at the International School of Bologna, teaching IB students and supporting learners across Chemistry, Physics and Maths. Since 2020, I have tutored IB Chemistry students both online and in person, helping them improve their grades, strengthen their scientific reasoning, and prepare for university-level STEM and medicine pathways.

Testimonials

I started working with Domenico in April 2025 while I was struggling with IB Chemistry HL during my first Diploma year, achieving mostly weak 3s. Over the following two months, he helped me prepare for my end-of-year exam and several topic tests. With his support, I improved my results to a full 5.
He was really good at motivating me and helpful, with very clear explanations especially for areas I found most difficult. He also helped me improve the way I took notes by sharing his examples from when he was a student too.
I feel like I am much more confident now (and probably better also in my self-management when it comes to study by myself), and I would highly recommend him to other IB students!
