Our Story:
Mission-driven education
Dominarlo was founded in 2021 by Dr. Sherif Elbarrad, a passionate educator driven by a vision to create a global movement in education. Over his long career in accounting and academics, Dr. Elbarrad discovered his love for teaching but also encountered systemic challenges that limited the potential of both educators and students. Inflated textbook costs, restrictive teaching resources, and limited avenues for teaching critical skills were barriers that frustrated educators and hindered student success.
Dr. Elbarrad envisioned a world where faculty members collaborate to create a shared base of questions, build on each other’s work, and exchange knowledge in a global community. He dreamed of professors helping one another, sharing their expertise, and being rewarded for their contributions. He saw an opportunity for companies to play a role by sponsoring classes, supporting students, and participating in shaping the future of education. Above all, he believed in making education accessible, enabling students to gain essential skills at an affordable cost.
Dominarlo didn’t begin as a single idea but as a series of innovative solutions. The need for affordable, flexible textbooks led to the creation of the Pressroom. Limited support for educators inspired the development of the Quiz Builder, while difficulties in teaching Excel effectively resulted in the Excel Analyzer. Recognizing the growing importance of data analytics skills, Dominarlo developed the Query Checker to help students and educators enhance their proficiency in data management and analysis. Each application was designed to solve a tangible problem, empowering educators to teach more effectively while fostering student engagement and success.
Dominarlo offers a win-win-win business model. Professors gain a global reach, increase their impact, and have the opportunity to earn royalties while shaping the future of education. Companies play a vital role in social responsibility by supporting students in gaining essential skills affordably, while also being acknowledged to the students who are their future employees and customers. Most importantly, students benefit by mastering new skills at little or no cost, reducing their financial burden and enhancing their future career prospects.
At Dominarlo, we believe education is a shared effort. That’s why our platform enables collaboration between educators and provides tools for students to develop real-world skills. Built in partnership with professors and the business community, Dominarlo is rooted in the belief that education should be democratized and accessible for all.
