Tutoring Services
I provide personalized, one-on-one Biology tutoring for middle school and high school students, including Academic, Honors IB and AP Biology.
Whether your student needs help with cell biology, genetics, evolution, ecology, human anatomy, or preparing for tests and exams — I break down complex topics into clear, understandable concepts.
My goal is to help students not just memorize, but truly understand Biology so they gain confidence and improve their grades.

My focus is building strong foundational understanding so students feel confident and perform better in class.

About me
Hi, I’m Joseph (often called Mr. D. by my students) — the founder of Back-Pocket Science Tutor. I’m a Pennsylvania-certified teacher specializing in Biology and Chemistry for grades 7–12. Over the years, I’ve taught IB Biology, IB Chemistry, Honors Chemistry, Academic Chemistry, Environmental Science, Academic Biology, and Astronomy. I hold a B.S. in Biology (with a minor in Biochemistry), a Master of Arts in Teaching – STEM Education, and I am currently completing my Doctorate in Educational Leadership. Safety and trust are important to me — I maintain current PA State Police Clearance, FBI Fingerprinting, and Child Abuse Clearance. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my pregnant wife and our two young kids. Being a dad has deeply shaped the way I teach — with patience, encouragement, and a real understanding of how students learn best. My goal is simple: help students not just “get through” science, but actually understand it, enjoy it, and build lasting confidence. I look forward to working with you and your student!
