Cybersecurity Tutoring

Network security, cryptography, threat analysis, and defensive coursework.

Security is one of those subjects where the textbook makes sense and the lab does not. I help students close that gap. We spend most sessions working through actual labs, writing or breaking down exploits, and making sure the concepts behind them are clear.

Best for students taking introductory or advanced cybersecurity courses, or working through applied security projects.

What I help with

Common things students bring to sessions

  • I am stuck on a security lab and not sure what the exploit is supposed to do.
  • Cryptography is confusing (symmetric vs asymmetric vs hashing).
  • I need to understand TCP/IP, packet capture, and protocol analysis for an exam.
  • I have a pentest report or write-up due and need to organize my findings.
  • Threat modeling and risk assessment feel abstract.

Topics covered

Network security fundamentals and protocols
Cryptography (symmetric, asymmetric, hashing, key exchange)
Threat analysis and risk assessment
Ethical hacking concepts and defensive strategies
Web application security (OWASP, SQL injection, XSS)
Packet capture and protocol analysis
Security operations and incident response basics
Course-specific lab support and write-ups

How sessions work

Free 15-minute call

Tell me your course, the assignment, your deadline, and what you are stuck on. I will let you know if I can help.

Schedule your session

We pick times that work around your week. Single sessions, weekly slots, or short bursts before exams, all fine.

Walk in stuck, walk out unstuck

We work through your actual code, problem set, or concepts together until it clicks. You leave with notes you can use.

What you'll walk away with

A clear plan to finish your assignment, project, or exam prep.
Confidence in the concepts your course is actually testing.
Code you understand line by line, not just code that compiles.
A faster way to debug your own work when I'm not around.
Notes and worked examples you can come back to before the exam.
Honest feedback on what to focus on, and what to skip.
