Lead certification held
Over the past two years, I've worked one-on-one with dozens of students across the full spectrum of IT and cybersecurity education — from early high school learners exploring tech for the first time to working professionals pursuing graduate degrees and elite certifications.
My approach is practical first. Concepts are anchored to real-world scenarios, exam objectives are demystified, and every session is adapted to how you learn best. Whether you're stuck on subnetting, intimidated by scripting, or just not sure where to start — we'll find the clearest path forward.
As a CISSP-certified practitioner with an M.S. in Cybersecurity and over a decade of active field experience, I don't just know the material — I use it every day.
What I cover
Security+, Network+, A+, and CC — from zero to exam-ready, with targeted practice and concept deep-dives.
CySA+, CEH, SSCP, CISSP, and beyond — for professionals looking to level up their credentials and their knowledge.
Cybersecurity and IT coursework at the B.S. and M.S. level — concepts, assignments, research guidance, and exam prep.
Fundamentals through automation — writing scripts for security tasks, parsing data, and building practical tools.
Queries, schemas, and data management basics — the foundation for security analytics, logging, and backend work.
If it's in the IT or cybersecurity space and you need help with it, reach out — there's a good chance we can work with it.
Powered by toneWorks Foundry
Cognoscient is a proprietary AI-assisted learning engine developed in-house by toneWorks Foundry. I built it specifically to enhance the tutoring experience — giving students a smarter, more interactive way to review material, check their understanding, and identify gaps before they become exam-day surprises.
In tutoring sessions, I use a streamlined version of Cognoscient for knowledge checks, targeted review, and adaptive Q&A — meeting each student where they are and adjusting in real time. It's not a replacement for instruction; it's a force multiplier for it.
The full edition of Cognoscient — with expanded capabilities for individuals, teams, and organizations — is coming soon at cognoscient.com.
