"I hold the highest ranking Cisco Certification - the CCIE. There are only around 66,000 people in the world with this certification. I passed the qualifying exam with a score of 902 out of 1,000. I also have 20 years of experience in IT and have designed, implemented, operated and optimized complex enterprise networks for large companies (mainly in the Financial Services space). In terms of my education, I hold a Bachelors degree and worked as a part-time IT engineer within the college where I was attending at the time. I learned Network Engineering while taking courses at a local University. I also hold an active CCNA and CCNP certification. If you're looking to obtain the CCNA or simply looking to take a deep dive into TCP/IP and Network Administration/Engineering, I'm the perfect fit for you.

After achieving my CCNA certification which I passed on the first attempt, I returned to the University to assist my former Professor in teaching the new students coming in, so I have experience with teaching within a classroom setting. Since then I have been freelance tutoring outside of work hours for the past 6 years and have tutored others who were able to pass their CCNA certification and went on to be successful in their IT careers. Prior to the pandemic, I would tutor individuals between the ages of 18-50 who were looking to become Network Engineers or pass their CCNA exam at a local Starbucks. During the pandemic, I migrated my freelance tutoring services online through Zoom, so I am very familiar with Online Tutoring, which is now my preferred method.

I use the "Chalk Talk" method where I lecture the students and bring those lessons to life on a virtual Whiteboard. We will also do live labs on a virtual Router software in order to reinforce what we learned and gain hands-on experience but, the primary focus will be on mastering the Theory of Computer Networking.

No prior experience in IT is required however, it is recommended that you at least have experience using a Computer and the Internet." less...
