I’m a CISSP and Security+ certified professional with over a decade of experience working in technical, policy, and compliance roles for federal systems. I’ve done everything from cybersecurity analysis to executive level documentation, and I’ve built a reputation for making complex material easier to understand. I hold a bachelor’s degree and have received formal recognition for my work, including the DoD CIO Annual Team Award.

Teaching and mentoring have been a consistent part of my career. I’ve worked one on one with students and professionals of all ages, helping with writing, study skills, certification prep, and technical subjects. My approach is structured but flexible, and I try to meet people where they are. I’m especially passionate about helping people who feel overwhelmed or disorganized, and I focus on building clarity and confidence.

If you're looking for someone who can explain things clearly, keep you on track, and help you get real results, I’d be glad to work with you.

I have a B.S. in Computer Science and hold CISSP and Security+ certifications. In my IT and government career, I’ve not only mentored colleagues and students but also taken part in the hiring process, giving me insight into what employers are really looking for. I enjoy helping people set clear goals, stay organized, and build the skills that open doors to new opportunities. My approach is practical and grounded in real-world experience, making career growth easier to achieve.
Computer Science

Computer Science

I hold a B.S. in Computer Science and have earned both the CISSP and Security+ certifications, reflecting my ability to master and apply advanced technical concepts. I bring years of professional experience in IT and cybersecurity, where I worked on critical government systems requiring deep computer science knowledge. I have also tutored students in technical subjects and certification prep, breaking down complex ideas into clear, practical steps. My approach combines academic foundation, professional expertise, and proven teaching strategies to help students succeed in computer science at any level.
Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity

I’ve worked for years in high-level government cybersecurity, including compliance, risk management, and technical security under DoD standards. I hold CISSP and Security+ certifications, and I’ve trained others in tools like McAfee ePO, ACAS, and RMF processes. Whether you're studying for certification exams or need help breaking down complex material, I bring real-world experience and clear explanations. I’m especially good at helping students connect technical details to the bigger picture.
Government & Politics

Government & Politics

I’ve worked in federal roles where I saw how government decisions actually get made and carried out. I’ve studied political systems, public policy, and civic structure from both a practical and philosophical view. My focus is on helping people cut through the noise and really understand how power and institutions function. If you want honest, clear explanations without the textbook confusion, I’ve got you.
Information Technology

Information Technology

I hold a B.S. in Computer Science and am CISSP and Security+ certified, with years of professional experience in IT and cybersecurity. My work supporting critical government systems required advanced technical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and a deep understanding of information technology. I have also tutored students preparing for IT certifications and academic courses, focusing on clear explanations and practical application. My goal is to help students build confidence, master technical skills, and apply IT concepts effectively in both academic and professional settings.
Philosophy

Philosophy

I’ve done focused independent study in philosophy because I care about the ideas and how they show up in real life. My interests include ethics, existentialism, and political theory, especially where they connect to real-world questions. I break things down clearly and challenge surface-level takes without getting lost in academic nonsense. If you want to think deeply and stay honest about it, I’m a good fit. If you’re curious but unsure, no pressure. I keep my rate accessible so you can try a session and see if it’s a good fit. I’m here to help you actually get it, not just get through it.

Knowledgeable and Responsive Tutor

I had one session with Alex but will continue more sessions. His prices are reasonable and he knows about the certification I am trying to get because he has it. I feel a bit more motivated to study and take my certification test now. I hope I pass when it's time.
