Whether you're a student trying to crack CompTIA certification concepts, a beginner trying to understand how networks actually work, or a struggling reader who just needs someone to slow down and meet you where you are — I've got you.

I hold an A.A.S. in Cybersecurity and Networking from Southwestern Illinois College and am pursuing a B.S. in Cybersecurity at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. I also have published research in cybersecurity and theoretical computer science, which reflects the depth I bring to technical topics. Beyond credentials, I have real classroom experience as a licensed substitute teacher and paraprofessional in Illinois, working with students from elementary through high school in special education resource settings.

My tutoring style is low-pressure, patient, and practical. For tech subjects, I connect abstract concepts to real-world scenarios. For reading and literacy, I diagnose the specific gap and build targeted strategies around it. My goal is simple: make sure you leave every session more confident than you arrived.

Approved Subjects

CCNA (Cisco Engineering)

CCNA (Cisco Engineering)

Passing the CCNA requires specific to Cisco knowledge of IOS(Internetworking Operating System) commands and proprietary protocols combined with general networking domain concepts and knowledge. I have lead practical and virtual labs in the subject as well as used Packet Tracer to model various networking configurations.
Computer Science

Computer Science

My foundation in Computer Science is grounded in independent research and publication. I have authored two papers in the field: "Self-Replicating LLM Artifacts & Accidental Supply-Chain Contamination", which introduces a new class of AI/LLM vulnerability, and "On the Subjection of Total Languages to the Halting Problem", a formal proof in computability theory via Rice's Theorem and Turing. My academic background includes coursework in Cybersecurity and Networking at the university level, giving me a strong grasp of both theoretical and applied CS concepts. I can help students from introductory programming and logic through more advanced topics in algorithms, theory of computation, and systems security.
Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity

I have an AAS in Cybersecurity and Networking from Southwestern Illinois College and nearly completed a BS in Cybersecurity (Computer Science emphasis) from University of Missouri St. Louis. With almost 10 years of hands-on cybersecurity experience, I've worked extensively in consulting, risk analysis, malware research, and security infrastructure development. I actively maintain GitHub repositories focused on security lab automation and am building a blog to document practical research methodologies.
Information Technology

Information Technology

In addition to having an associates in the field, as well as near to completion of a computer science based cybersecurity degree, I also have practical experience in a variety of roles where IT became a secondary function of my primary role
Networking (Computer)

Networking (Computer)

I have an AAS in Cybersecurity and Networking from Southwestern Illinois College, have almost completed a BS in Cybersecurity computer science emphasis from University of Missouri St Louis, and held certifications in CompTIA Security+, Cisco Certified Networking Associate, and Microsoft Technology Associate Windows Server Administration Fundamentals. In addition, I have several git repos dedicated to the subject and am in the process of starting a blog about the subject.
