CompTIA Triad Specialist | From Helpdesk to Systems Admin

Elijah S.

Hello! I'm Elijah, and I help IT professionals and aspiring technicians understand not just exam answers, but the real infrastructure behind them. I hold the CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+ certifications, plus Google IT Professional and Google Cybersecurity certifications. I've been working as a Technical Resource Specialist supporting 230+ classrooms across a K-12 school district since early 2025, managing everything from Tier 1 helpdesk to systems administration.

Here's what I've learned: certification exams test both knowledge and reading comprehension, and the best way to pass is understanding why concepts matter, not just memorizing facts. My teaching method is simple but effective. I start by connecting exam topics to real infrastructure projects I've built—like designing an LMS system from scratch or programming controllers for camera automation. Then I walk through the material explicitly, making sure you grasp the fundamentals. Finally, I give you time to practice and ask questions in a no-judgment zone. This approach works because you see the theory and the application.

I tutor adult learners at every experience level, from people brand new to IT to those with background knowledge seeking specific certifications. I've also created and taught Intro to Cybersecurity courses for students ranging from elementary through high school. Whether you're prepping for A+, Network+, Security+, or Google certifications, I adjust my method to fit your learning style and goals.
I'm easy to reach and committed to your success. Contact me to discuss your certification goals and schedule a lesson!
