About Alfred


Bio

I'm Al, and I'd love to be your tutor. I previously worked as a tutor and TA in the IT department at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. I'm patient, understanding, and genuinely invested in your success. My on-campus students saw a 100% pass rate, and I'm excited to bring that same approach to Wyzant.

One area I especially enjoy is helping students with ADHD build consistent, low-effort habits that actually stick. The techniques I teach are the same ones that helped me overcome my own...

I'm Al, and I'd love to be your tutor. I previously worked as a tutor and TA in the IT department at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. I'm patient, understanding, and genuinely invested in your success. My on-campus students saw a 100% pass rate, and I'm excited to bring that same approach to Wyzant.

One area I especially enjoy is helping students with ADHD build consistent, low-effort habits that actually stick. The techniques I teach are the same ones that helped me overcome my own challenges. Nothing beats hearing that I helped someone get ahead, and I hear it every year from the students I work with.

Each week I tutor on a range of subjects: cybersecurity, information technology, programming, binary, public speaking, OSINT, network security, and more. Most sessions are one-on-one, just like ours would be. I also lead workshops for an organization I co-founded at NJIT. Whether you're new to a technical concept, prepping for a certification exam, or sharpening a skill, I'm here to help.

Beyond IT administration and security, cybersecurity, OSINT, and networking, I bring a broad background. I've studied astronomy as a passion since 2010, including professional coursework that can give you a solid foundation. Before returning to school, I spent over ten years in sales and three in journalism, where I sharpened my skills in persuasive speaking, writing, and grammar.

I work with computers all day and have been programming since 2004. On the side, I build websites and develop tools for organizations and personal projects.

Ready to start? Send me a message and tell me what you're struggling with ahead of time so I can come prepared. Due to a packed schedule, I ask for 12 hours notice on cancellations, but I'm flexible and happy to meet as your needs change.

Approved Subjects

General Computer

General Computer

I have experience with computers & technology spanning over 25 years. I have a graduate degree in Information Technology, and specialize in cybersecurity.
HTML

HTML

As a freelance web developer, I have designed and implemented many websites for clients. I am experienced in using HTML, CSS, Javascript, MongoDB, TypeScript, PHP, React, SQL, Django, and more. These sites require working knowledge of HTML5 and various other languages to render beautiful websites to their visitors.
JavaScript

JavaScript

I've been programming since 2004 and work with JavaScript across the stack, from front-end interfaces to Node.js and Express back-end services. I've built numerous web applications and developer tools, so I teach JavaScript the way it's actually used in real projects rather than as disconnected syntax. I can guide you through the fundamentals like variables, functions, loops, and DOM manipulation, then move into the harder topics like asynchronous code, promises, callbacks, and working with APIs. Whether you're writing your first script or debugging a Node project that won't behave, I'll meet you at your level and keep it practical.
Networking (Computer)

Networking (Computer)

As an undergraduate IT student, I have specialized in Network & Information Security or cybersecurity. This requires a working knowledge of the OSI model and what each layer does. I tutor and TA for IT students learning this specialization at my university as well. My free time is spent running the school's information & cybersecurity student organization as their current president.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

With over 10+ years of professional sales experience, 5+ years of experience performing on stage, and 2+ years as a tutor and workshop leader I have honed my public speaking abilities. I can help you create a commanding presence in front of an audience.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I earned two degrees, including a summa cum laude BS, while leading organizations, competing on national teams, and working, so I know firsthand how to build study systems that survive a packed schedule. I specialize in helping students with ADHD develop consistent, low-effort habits that actually stick, using the same techniques that got me through my own challenges. I've taught and tutored students from middle school through college, adapting my approach to how each person actually learns rather than forcing one method. Whether you're fighting procrastination, struggling to retain material, or just trying to build a routine that holds, I can give you practical strategies you'll use for the rest of your education.
