I also hold M.S. and B.S. degrees in Cybersecurity from RIT and have authored peer-reviewed scientific publications.

I have several years of experience with over 1,000 hours teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as tutoring students one-on-one. I focus on making difficult technical topics clear, approachable, and practical.

I tutor programming, including Java, C, C++, assembly, and related languages, along with data structures, algorithms, AI/ML concepts, quantum computing, computer engineering, cybersecurity, networking, and mathematics. My goal is to help students build confidence, understand the material deeply, and succeed in their courses.

Knowledgable, thoughtful, and encouraging tutor

Geoff makes learning computer science approachable and fun. He has helped me with both C code implementation and the fundamentals of computer systems. He is great with explaining confusing concepts to me. Additionally, he cares about his students and is encouraging--a quality especially hard to come by with computer programmers as talented as Geoff!

Excellent Tutor!!

I frantcally was looking for a last minute Tutor to help my daughter with her Machine Learning midterm. Geoff reviewed the test prep document and ageeed that he can help. He provided immediate clarity to her and was sooo helpful. I highly recommend him!!! Anna

Okay, Charged full hour for a task that took 10 minutes to solve.

Came to Geoff with a task that I needed help with for MATLAB. He solved it in 10 minutes. Cool. But instead of charging for half an hour, he charged for the full hour..Was the first tutor I came across that does this. So, I recommend everyone who's looking for a tutor, before setting an appointment with them, ask them on how they charge their rate to avoid being overcharged for a session based on whatever task you need help with.

Excellent Tutor

Geoff is an excellent tutor with a strong understanding of the overall architecture of code. He approaches coding with a holistic mindset and consistently explains concepts from a big-picture perspective, helping students understand not just how the code works, but why it is designed that way. At the same time, he is extremely detail-oriented and able to identify even the smallest, easily overlooked errors. In coding, a tiny mistake can prevent an entire program from running, and his precision greatly improves both learning and outcomes. He is also very patient and takes the time to explain mistakes clearly, making the learning process both effective and encouraging. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to build a strong foundation in coding, especially those who value both big-picture understanding and careful attention to details.

Excellent tutor for Network programming

Geoff helped me with a Python client-server project that involved instant messaging and file downloads. He also helped me to understand network concepts such as switch tables and network timings. Geoff is highly knowledgeable in the field of networks and greatly improved my understanding. He was also very flexible, fitting me in whenever I needed. I highly recommend Geoff for any networks or cybersecurity help and I would definitely use his services again.

Great Networks Tutor

Geoff helped me so much with understanding my networks questions and assignment. He explained very clearly how to even approach a networks programming assignment! If you're looking to learn how to do network programming in C, Geoff is your guy! He very much knows his work, and explains everything in great detail and most importantly explains the Why and how things work! 5/5! Amazing tutor!

Amazing tutor

I was struggling on a programming project and I had a few sessions for guidance and debugging help. He was extremely patient and kind, and went above and beyond to help me figure things out. Very well-versed in C++ and walked me through every concept I struggled on while keeping everything at my pace. Definitely staying high on my list.
