Beginner, mid career or professional looking to pivot?

My cybersecurity lessons are structured to provide a rich, hands-on learning experience tailored to each student’s background, goals, and learning pace. Drawing from over 15+ years in the IT field, including 8+ years specialising in application and cloud security within highly regulated sectors like energy, finance, and critical infrastructure. I create personalised lesson plans that blend foundational knowledge with real-world applications.

Each session is highly interactive and focuses on practical, job-ready skills. We cover a broad range of topics including ethical hacking, web and mobile app security testing, secure coding practices, threat modeling, vulnerability assessments, and compliance with security standards such as OWASP Top Ten, NIST ISO 27001, and GDPR. I also incorporate secure DevOps practices, teaching automation with Python and Bash, as well as security tooling like SAST/DAST, SIEM platforms, and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform.

My teaching approach bridges theory and practice. I use real-world case studies, security labs, hands-on challenges, and industry-grade tools to help reinforce learning. Lessons can be delivered online, either one-on-one or in small groups, and are structured to provide a mix of structured curriculum and dynamic Q&A.

Whether you’re a complete beginner aiming to break into the field, a developer looking to shift into AppSec, or a professional preparing for certifications like CompTIA Security+, ISC2 CC, or CISSP, I offer mentoring support, career guidance, and flexible scheduling. With a focus on problem-solving and industry relevance, I’m committed to helping you succeed in your cybersecurity journey today.
