Patient Tutor and Cybersecurity Student Committed to Building Stu

Alyssa L.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity at Mount St. Mary's University, where I study cybersecurity fundamentals, operating systems, networking, and programming in Java and Python. I also hold Cisco Certified Support Technician certifications in Networking, Cybersecurity, and IT. My academic background has strengthened my skills in mathematics, technology, problem solving, and critical thinking, allowing me to confidently assist students in these areas.

Throughout my academic career, I have frequently helped classmates, teammates, friends, and younger students understand challenging concepts and complete assignments. My tutoring experience has primarily been in one on one and small group settings, where I focus on breaking down difficult topics into simple, easy to understand steps. I believe every student learns differently, so I adapt my teaching style to match each student's needs, learning pace, and goals.

In addition to my academic experience, I serve as a team captain for my college flag football team, which has further developed my communication, leadership, and mentoring skills. I have experience working with students ranging from elementary school through high school, helping them build confidence in subjects such as math, technology, study skills, and general coursework. My goal as a tutor is not only to help students improve their grades but also to help them develop confidence, independence, and a positive attitude toward learning.
