Hi, I’m Andrew, a cybersecurity professional with 14+ years of hands-on experience in SOC operations, cloud security, and networking. I help students build real-world skills in AWS, cybersecurity, Cisco networking, computer science, and video production through practical, hands-on tutoring.

My sessions are interactive and focused on real tools and real problems. Whether you’re preparing for a certification, learning cloud security, troubleshooting network issues, or improving your technical workflow, I break complex topics into clear, manageable steps.

I specialize in:

AWS: IAM, EC2, S3, CloudWatch, Route 53.

Cybersecurity: SIEM, incident response, compliance.

Networking: Cisco, firewalls, VLANs, subnetting.

Computer Science: fundamentals, scripting, algorithms.

Video Production: editing, workflows, content creation.

Students often say I make advanced topics feel simple and practical. If you want a tutor who can help you understand the material and apply it confidently, message me to discuss your goals.

Approved Subjects

AWS

AWS

I am an AWS Solutions Architect Associate with hands-on experience securing and operating workloads in real-world enterprise environments. I’ve worked extensively with core AWS services including IAM, EC2, VPC networking, S3, RDS, CloudTrail, and GuardDuty, with a strong focus on security, monitoring, and incident response. I regularly design and review cloud architectures for least-privilege access, logging, and compliance alignment, drawing on nine years in security operations and threat hunting. In our sessions, I break down complex AWS concepts into practical, lab-based examples so you can build both exam-ready knowledge and job-ready skills.
CCNA (Cisco Engineering)

CCNA (Cisco Engineering)

I am a network engineer and cybersecurity analyst with extensive hands-on experience configuring Cisco routers and switches in real-world environments. I work daily with core CCNA topics such as VLANs, inter-VLAN routing, subnetting, static and dynamic routing (RIP, OSPF), ACLs, and WAN/VPN connectivity. I also have strong experience troubleshooting networks using CLI tools and packet analyzers, which helps bridge the gap between theory and what you’ll see on the job or in labs. In our sessions, I focus on simplifying complex Cisco concepts, drilling subnetting and command syntax, and walking through realistic scenarios to prepare you for both the CCNA exam and practical network engineering work.
Cello

Cello

I am an accomplished cellist with 27 years of playing experience across solo, chamber, and ensemble settings. I have taught students of all ages and levels, from complete beginners to advanced players preparing for auditions and performances. I focus on building strong technical foundations—proper posture, bow control, intonation, and reading music—while helping students develop their own musical voice and love for the instrument. In our lessons, I create a supportive, encouraging environment where you can grow as both a musician and performer.

I am a cybersecurity and IT professional with over 14 years of experience working with computer systems, networks, cloud technologies, and security operations. My background includes hands-on experience with programming, Linux and Windows administration, networking, cloud computing, and cybersecurity, supported by certifications such as Security+, Network+, Linux+, CCNA, AWS Solutions Architect Associate, and Azure Administrator Associate. I enjoy helping students understand complex technical concepts by breaking them down into clear, practical lessons that build both knowledge and confidence.
Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity

I am a senior cybersecurity analyst with over nine years of experience in security operations centers (SOCs), threat hunting, and incident response. I have extensive hands-on expertise with SIEM tools, endpoint detection and response (EDR), cloud security (AWS and Azure), firewalls, and network security monitoring. I regularly investigate real-world attacks, tune detections, and design security controls aligned with frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001. In tutoring sessions, I break down complex security concepts into clear, practical examples so students can succeed in classes, certifications, and real-world cybersecurity roles.
Data Analysis

Data Analysis

I am a senior cybersecurity analyst with extensive experience analyzing large datasets from SIEM platforms (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel), network traffic (PCAP analysis), and cloud logs (AWS CloudTrail, GuardDuty). My work involves extracting actionable insights from complex security data through statistical analysis, pattern recognition, and visualization to identify threats and measure operational effectiveness. I regularly use tools like Excel, Python (pandas, matplotlib), and SQL to process, clean, and interpret data for incident response and compliance reporting. In tutoring sessions, I teach practical data analysis techniques—from data cleaning and exploratory analysis to visualization and hypothesis testing—tailored to real-world cybersecurity and business applications.
Debate

Debate

With 7 years as an investigative journalist, I honed persuasive argumentation by researching complex stories, interviewing sources under pressure, and crafting compelling narratives that influenced public opinion and policy. My experience building airtight cases—gathering evidence, anticipating counterarguments, and delivering clear rebuttals—directly translates to competitive debate coaching at high school and college levels. As a former SOC analyst and team lead, I further developed structured critical thinking for high-stakes scenarios, teaching students to construct logical frameworks, cross-examine opponents, and refine rhetorical delivery. I specialize in policy debate, Lincoln-Douglas, and public forum formats, emphasizing real-world evidence integration and ethical persuasion techniques.
