I hold the highest ranking Cisco Certification - the CCIE. There are only around 66,000 people in the world with this certification. I passed the qualifying exam with a score of 902 out of 1,000. I also have 20 years of experience in IT and have designed, implemented, operated and optimized complex enterprise networks for large companies (mainly in the Financial Services space). In terms of my education, I hold a Bachelors degree and worked as a part-time IT engineer within the college where I was attending at the time. I learned Network Engineering while taking courses at a local University. I also hold an active CCNA and CCNP certification. If you're looking to obtain the CCNA or simply looking to take a deep dive into TCP/IP and Network Administration/Engineering, I'm the perfect fit for you.

After achieving my CCNA certification which I passed on the first attempt, I returned to the University to assist my former Professor in teaching the new students coming in, so I have experience with teaching within a classroom setting. Since then I have been freelance tutoring outside of work hours for the past 6 years and have tutored others who were able to pass their CCNA certification and went on to be successful in their IT careers. Prior to the pandemic, I would tutor individuals between the ages of 18-50 who were looking to become Network Engineers or pass their CCNA exam at a local Starbucks. During the pandemic, I migrated my freelance tutoring services online through Zoom, so I am very familiar with Online Tutoring, which is now my preferred method.

I use the "Chalk Talk" method where I lecture the students and bring those lessons to life on a virtual Whiteboard. We will also do live labs on a virtual Router software in order to reinforce what we learned and gain hands-on experience but, the primary focus will be on mastering the Theory of Computer Networking.

No prior experience in IT is required however, it is recommended that you at least have experience using a Computer and the Internet.

I hold the highest ranking Cisco Certification - the CCIE (in Enterprise Infrastructure). There are only around 66,000 people in the world with this certification. I passed the qualifying written exam (which was required in order to take the Lab exam) with a score of 902 out of 1,000. I also have 20 years of experience in IT, starting out as a Help Desk Technician for a local government office back in 2003 and progressively advancing in my career. Over the years I have designed, implemented, operated and optimized complex enterprise networks for large companies (mainly in the Financial Services space). Some of the topics that I deal with currently at work on a day-to-day basis are: IPv4/IPv6, VLANs, Subnetting, NAT, DHCP, VPNs, Routing Protocols such as OSPF and BGP, MPLS and Network Design. I have worked on not only Cisco equipment, but other networking vendors such as Fortinet and HP. In terms of my education, I hold a Bachelors degree and worked as a part-time IT engineer within the college where I was attending at the time. I learned Network Engineering while taking courses at a local University. I also hold an active CCNA and CCNP certification.

I had already failed the CCNA twice when I started with Jackson. His patience and infectious enthusiasm for the subject helped me regain my confidence over 11 lessons. I explained my weak areas and he broke the concepts down while giving real world examples. I most appreciated getting a bigger picture of how everything is connected and how the different parts work together. He went above and beyond to answer my questions and make sure I understood the topics. I was able to pass the test successfully and have reignited my passion for networking!

CCNA Prep

I can’t thank Jackson enough for helping me pass my CCNA exam after previously failing it. I was feeling discouraged and unsure of how to move forward, but Jackson changed everything. He broke down complex networking topics in a way that finally clicked for me, and he focused on the areas I struggled with most—without ever making me feel overwhelmed. Jackson was patient, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to helping me succeed. He didn’t just help me study—he helped me understand the material on a deeper level, which made all the difference. Thanks to his guidance, I passed confidently and feel much more prepared for a future in networking and systems administration. Highly recommend Jackson to anyone serious about passing the CCNA or advancing in IT

CCNP Prep

Jackson is getting my CCNP studying focused. He's been a huge help and I am now focused on the right subjects. I am lucky to have found his help. He understands the test and the scoring and an in depth understanding of the material.

Finished off the quarter fantastically!

Mr. J totally nailed it with every tutoring session I had with him. He's a very good teacher, opting to help his students learn by doing things, but not being vague when giving advice and instructions. He explains things in such a way that you'll gradually understand the significance of what you're doing in the moment, and he also knows the importance of repition in learning. He's the best tutor I've had in the IT field, and he's also just a super friendly person, more than willing to make time in his schedule for a lesson. Thanks Mr. J! You're awesome!

Phenomenal!

Jackson J. is a truly talented teacher. I learn more with him in a matter of hours than I do by myself or in class on campus at my university. If you need some help in the networking field, Jackson J. is an absolutely incredible tutor and well worth speaking to to schedule an appointment.
