Iyyapu: Addison tutor
Certified Tutor
I'm passionate about helping students because I know firsthand how empowering knowledge can be. Whether it's demystifying complex code or guiding someone through their first cybersecurity lab, I find real joy in making learning accessible, relatable, and exciting.
My experience spans working with fellow students in computer science and cybersecurity, as well as mentoring younger learners in subjects like programming, data structures, and foundational math and even test prep for school and college students . One of my most formative roles was serving as President of my college's Toastmasters Club, where I coached members in public speaking, led leadership workshops, and organized speech contests. We earned top accolades across categoriesEvaluation, Table Topics, Humorous, and International Speech. This experience sharpened my ability to communicate clearly and inspire others, which has become central to my tutoring style.
I hold a Bachelor's in Computer Science and Engineering and completed my Master's in Cybersecurity at the Illinois Institute of Technology. I tutor subjects including Python, SQL, Computer Science fundamentals, Topics in computer science , Networking, Cybersecurity and IELTS test prep. Cybersecurity is my favorite subject to tutor because it's dynamic, practical, and deeply problem-solving oriented qualities that make each session both intellectually stimulating and impactful.
My teaching philosophy is student-centered and adaptable. I focus on building confidence, breaking down difficult concepts into manageable parts, and using real-world examples to make lessons stick. I believe in creating a supportive environment where questions are welcomed and curiosity is celebrated.
Outside of academics, I enjoy public speaking, singing, and participating in national competitionsactivities that keep me creative, energized, and continuously learning.
Each student is unique, and I'm committed to helping them reach their goalswhether that means acing an exam, building foundational skills, or simply learning something new with confidence and curiosity.
