My academic journey at the University of Cincinnati, where I majored in cybersecurity and networking, has provided me with a robust theoretical and practical foundation. This formal education is complemented by industry-recognized certifications, specifically the CompTIA Security+ and Splunk Core Power User, which validate my proficiency in key areas of the field. This blend of academic rigor and professional certification ensures that I am well-equipped to teach a wide array of topics, including cybersecurity, networking, Linux, and foundational technology skills. My goal is to bridge the gap between complex concepts and real-world application, making these subjects accessible and understandable for a diverse range of learners.
For the past six months, I have been actively tutoring through another tutoring platform, consistently dedicating around ten hours per week to one-on-one online sessions. My students have ranged from undergraduates and graduate students to professionals in their 40s seeking to pivot into the cybersecurity field. This experience has honed my ability to adapt my teaching methods to meet the unique needs and learning styles of each individual. A core component of my approach is to first gauge a student's current understanding by asking a series of questions that get to the root of their knowledge. From there, I use analogies to explain abstract or challenging concepts, a method that has proven to be highly effective in making complex information more relatable and easier to retain. This method, combined with my comprehensive background, allows me to provide a personalized and impactful learning experience for every student.
