As a successful online entrepreneur, I specialize in helping aspiring entrepreneurs launch online businesses for location independence and financial freedom. My own personal entrepreneurial journey started with a Test Prep business and WordPress membership site that currently drives passive income as well as ongoing clients. Over the years, I have worked with C-suite executives, as well as some of the largest marketing agencies in the country, gaining expertise in SEO, online marketing, web design, graphic design, photography, video editing, writing and content creation.

Being the founder of a test prep company, I am also in the business of helping students prepare for the CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+ and SAT exams. With specialized access to third-party and in-house study resources, I prepare students for Performance-Based Questions (PBQs) on CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+ exams, as well as HTML, CSS, WordPress, Information Security (Info-Sec) and entry-level JavaScript. I bring years of hands-on experience with advanced systems and computer networking, specializing in troubleshooting, systems analysis, and IT infrastructure management.

My philosophy entails breaking down complex concepts into clear, actionable lessons. Whether you're pursuing IT certifications, studying for the SAT or launching a business, I tailor my approach to your learning style and goals. Together we'll determine your limiting factors, then develop a strategy to push through them.

Not satisfied? Ask for a refund. Teaching is my passion. I am on Wyzant because I get energy from helping people! This is fun for me : )

Helpful and Patient Tutor

Zary showed me several features on Google Ads. I learned how to manage the financing of my ads and how to adjust the locations for better targeting. It was a very helpful and practical session.

Diane, 1 lesson with Zary

Sharp as a Tack

I am a small business owner who needed help making a small edit to my Wordpress website built by a developer. Turns out, the developer built it in the most difficult way for editing (everything is custom coded). Zary had no trouble helping me figure out exactly where the edit in the code had to be made, and then making the edit with me. The entire time he was kind and patient, and very pleasant to work with. He also went above and beyond by teaching me how to back up my wordpress site regularly and automatically, to protect against dangers. Thank you!

Ronald, 1 lesson with Zary

5 Stars.

He broke down the editing software and made it so much easier to understand. I can easily see him teaching a classroom full of students one day. Thank you so much! I highly recommend him and will be working with him again in the future.

Kathleen, 2 lessons with Zary

Super nice and patient, very knowledgeable

He really knew Facebook ads and it’s a very difficult thing to navigate. He couldn’t do everything because it’s just not possible. That’s just Facebook ads on iPads. Not good together. I will use Zary again!

Terry, 2 lessons with Zary

Very knowledgeable and patient

Mary really helped me understand next steps to help develop my digital skills and my new project. He made me think of some things I had never considered and I’m looking forward to our next tutorial session.

Curran, 2 lessons with Zary

Extremely knowledgable and patient tutor

Meeting Zary was a Game Changer for me. I was stuck on so many things: Connecting my social media to Hubspot, creating business accounts for FB and Instagram, Navigating Hubspot, I even had a virus on my computer. Zary found solutions to each and every problem and was also able to help me fix problems on my website, make pictures smaller, etc. He explains the process very clearly so that the next time I will be able to do work myself. He literally upskilled me in just a few sessions. Don't hesitate to hire Zary!!

Security+ Certification Passed!

Zary has been one of the best decisions I made while preparing for my Security+ certification. From the start, it was clear that he has a deep understanding of not only computers and cybersecurity, but also how the CompTIA exams are structured. What really stood out to me, though, was Zary’s patience, kindness, and ability to make complicated topics feel manageable. There were moments when I felt completely stuck or overwhelmed, and he never once made me feel like I wasn’t capable. Instead, he’d talk me through it, break things down in a way that made sense, and always found a way to help me regain confidence. I genuinely felt like he believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. His teaching tools are also a huge help, the word walls and mnemonics he’s created are incredibly effective. They helped me remember tough concepts and made my study sessions feel less stressful. He was always prepared, always on time, and often stayed a few extra minutes just to make sure I fully understood what we covered. With his help I successfully passed my Security+ exam on my first attempt. I’m extremely grateful for all his help and would recommend him to anyone who wants to not just pass an exam, but really understand the material and feel supported every step of the way.

Successful A+ Core 1 Preparation Thanks to Zary's Tutoring

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Zary for his exceptional tutoring support. With limited time before my CompTIA A+ Core 1 exam, Zary demonstrated remarkable patience and expertise in helping me build my knowledge base. His teaching approach, combined with valuable tools and resources, helped me better understand complex concepts that I initially struggled with. He methodically helped me work through exam objectives, ensuring I had a comprehensive understanding of the material. Most importantly, his teaching style significantly boosted my confidence in the material, which was crucial for my exam success. Thanks to his guidance and support, I successfully passed my exam! Thank you, Zary, for being such an instrumental part of my certification journey.
