I am a mid-career cybersecurity professional currently pursuing an MS in Computer Science at Pace University. I have taken a rigorous set of courses in Computer Science and Cybersecurity throughout my 4 years in college as an undergraduate.

I enjoy tutoring students who are completing coding challenges that I once had to do myself, as well as students hoping to start a career in cybersecurity.

I have experience in providing tips for individuals hoping to improve their tech resume and prepare remarkable job applications. I also provide tips for succeeding at job interviews.

I have years of experience in Python programming, basic C and C++ programming, and some Java programming. I have also previously administered MongoDB databases. I have taken classes in object oriented programming, assembly, and various classes in computer security. I have also completed three summer internships related to information security throughout my college career. My skills include malware analysis, reverse engineering, incident response, web exploitation, among others.

I am open to tutor students who are computer science novices, whether they are in high school or their first few years of college. I will gladly tutor students who are studying cybersecurity and want to learn more about certain topics, including the ones I am skilled in.

Extremely knowledgeable

Charles is very competent and knows his material. He tutored me in Python and by the end of our first session, I had grasped more coding than I had in several of my professor’s class sessions. I would highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone who is patient and willing to dial it down.

Super thoughtful, patient and intelligent tutor.

He helped guide me through three binaries in x32dbg. We were able to answer all of the questions that I had. I definitely recommend and will use him as a tutor in the future.

Knowledgeable and easy to understand

I was struggling with python assignment in my computer networking class. I don’t have programming background I didn’t know what I was doing. Charles helped me and I got A on the assignment. He is very knowledgeable and his explanation was clear. He is also honest if he doesn’t know something. I highly recommend him.

Incredible. Wish I had him longer.

I only had one session with Charles (he was already booked up for the rest of the time I am in need of tutors), but he helped me a lot in that time and explained everything very well. I hope I will be able to book him again next semester. Truly brilliant.
