Who We Are

Dr. Jim Orgoman™ Romano

Dr. Jim Romano is the founder and head instructor at Romano Scientific, the author of the Destroyer books and co-founder of Orgoman.com. He holds two degrees in Organic Chemistry and Dental Surgery from the University of Miami and New York University, respectively. Dr. Romano was fortunate enough to study extensively under world famous chemists such as Drs. Mills, Hare, Eschegoyen, Schultz, Oratz and Bartolotti in specific areas of chemistry, physics and biochemistry. After completing his education, rather than pursuing a career as an oral surgeon, he came to realize his true passion was found in helping students. He happily thrives tutoring and has created an empire built on integrity, sound fundamentals and novel approaches to problem solving.

“30+ years of experience speaks for itself.”

Nancy Steen

Nancy Steen is the co-founder of Orgoman.com and CEO of Romano Scientific. Nancy was first approached by Dr. Romano with an idea to provide online DAT Prep and OAT Prep course and other science materials to students worldwide. It soon became apparent to her that those students who followed Dr. Romano’s guidance and studied his materials reached great success and scored high on the DAT Exam, OAT Exam or MCAT exam to So, after 20+ years as a business professional, she gladly took the opportunity to join Dr. Romano’s mission to help students worldwide gain access to his life work.


Prof. Denis Barengolts

Denis Barengolts has been a tutor at Romano Scientific for 14 years teaching Biochemistry, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biology, SAT chemistry, SAT Biology, A.P. Chemistry and A.P. Biology in groups and individual lessons. He also has worked as a Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Neurovirology Research scientist for 11 years focusing on neurodegenerative disorders and infectious diseases. Denis received his Bachelor’s degree in Bioinformatics from The College of Staten Island and his Master’s degree in Biological Sciences from Hunter College.

“Denis is easily the best tutor I’ve had in my academic career. His ability of breaking down what initially seemed like intimidating and extremely difficult material into simple, comprehensive terms made learning fun and rewarding. I could not recommend him more, and simply cannot imagine doing so well in the course without him.”

– Michelle Weinberg

“Not only does Denis always keep us captivated when he teaches, but he’s become more than just a tutor. He really has extensive knowledge in every topic he teaches, enough to answer all the crazy questions and theories on science I may have. I couldn’t thank him enough because the truth is, that without him, I wouldn’t have received an A in Organic Chemistry I. Thank you Denis for all the laughs and good times, and not just for being an outstanding tutor but a great friend too.”

Prof. Kerry Mckenzie

Kerry Mckenzie has been a private tutor for Romano Scientific for 10 years specializing in General Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II, Nursing Chemistry, AP Chemistry, Regents Chemistry, and Perceptional Ability (component of the Dental Admission Exam). Since 2004, she has been teaching chemistry courses at Long Island University, Brooklyn College and Kingsborough Community College where she continues to teach. Kerri attended Long Island University earning a Master’s of Science degree in Chemistry and graduated Summa Cum Laude from Saint Francis College with a Bachelor’s of Science in Chemistry.

“After struggling with AP chemistry for the first half of the year, I decided to attend tutoring sessions with a friend who recommended Kerry. Since then, Kerry has filled preexisting gaps while also teaching me new material. Her methods are clear and precise, allowing for maximum retention. I feel ready to tackle college chemistry and the AP exam under Kerry’s advisement.”

– Deirdre O’Hara

“A friend and I were having trouble with AP Chem until we began tutoring with Kerry. The notes and advice she provides for me help me to study not only during tutoring sessions, but also on my own time. Her methods for problem solving are clearer and simpler than those that I learned in class and help me to understand much more than I otherwise would have.”
