?? About My Lessons

My lessons are designed to make complex computer science and cybersecurity concepts easy to understand and genuinely exciting to learn. I focus on turning technical theory into real-world understanding through clear explanations, interactive exercises, and hands-on activities. Whether you’re a complete beginner, a university student, or a professional looking to upskill, my sessions are tailored to your goals and learning pace.

?? Lesson Format

Each lesson follows a logical structure — we begin by breaking down key principles, then apply them through live demonstrations, practical labs, and guided problem-solving. I use virtual machines, coding environments, and forensic tools to simulate authentic scenarios so you gain valuable, job-ready experience.

We also spend time reviewing your progress after each session, identifying any areas that need reinforcement, and setting short-term goals to keep your learning consistent and measurable. Lessons can be one-to-one or small-group based, depending on your preference.

?? Topics Covered

I cover a wide range of subjects including:

Computer Science fundamentals — programming, data structures, and algorithms.

Cybersecurity essentials — ethical hacking, penetration testing, and system hardening.

Digital forensics — investigating Windows systems, analyzing evidence, and reconstructing incidents.

Network security — TCP/IP, ports, firewalls, and monitoring traffic using tools like Wireshark.

Scripting and automation with PowerShell and Python.

?? My Background & Teaching Style

I hold a degree in Cyber Security and completed an industrial placement at Toyota, where I served as Digital Ambassador and led cybersecurity initiatives. I’ve developed an open-source forensic triage tool for Windows 10, gaining deep technical experience in forensic analysis and automation.

My teaching style is student-centered — I believe that learning is most effective when it’s engaging, conversational, and empowering. I adapt to each learner’s strengths, ensuring every concept is understood before moving forward. Students often say my sessions feel motivating, practical, and full of “aha!” moments.

If you’re looking to build a solid foundation in computer science or advance into cybersecurity with confidence, my lessons will give you the tools, understanding, and mindset to succeed in both academic and professional environments.
