About Ailin(Alan)

Hi, I'm Ailin (Ah-lean), but you can call me Alan, the Irish version of Alan. I’m passionate about Cybersecurity, Linux, and Python programming.

Over the past 4 years, I’ve earned certifications such as CompTIA Security+, CySA+, Pentest+, and eLearnSecurity Junior Pentester (eJPT).

I’ve also spent nearly 10 years mentoring at Coder Dojo, specialising in teaching older kids Python programming and Web Development. During this time, I encouraged many, especially those on the Autistic Spectrum, to pursue careers in STEM. This journey led to the realisation that I, too, am on the spectrum.

Whether you’re a beginner or looking to advance your skills, I offer practical, hands-on tutoring focusing on real-world applications. My one-on-one video lessons are available via Zoom, Skype, or Google Meet. Let’s work together to simplify complex topics, with personalised lesson plans tailored to your learning style

About the lesson

A career in cybersecurity is the closest you'll get to becoming a superhero. My goal is to make this field accessible and engaging for everyone, whether you're new to it or looking to advance your knowledge.

Certifications like CompTIA Security+, CySA+, and Pentest+ teach theory—but theory without practical application isn’t enough. That's why I focus on hands-on, real-world cybersecurity challenges using platforms like TryHackMe and Hack The Box. You’ll develop skills that stick through meaningful projects and step-by-step guidance.

For beginners, I cover:

Basics of network security and threat prevention (e.g., enumeration with Nmap, basic packet analysis with Wireshark)

Understanding common vulnerabilities and exploits (Metasploit usage)

Essential tools for penetration testing and defence (Burp Suite, Hydra, real-world SIEMs)

Introduction to ethical hacking and responsible security practices

What sets my lessons apart is the focus on practical skills. Understanding how to use these tools is far more valuable to employers than just knowing theory, which you can always learn later.

Whether you're aiming to secure your systems, pursue a career in cybersecurity, or simply expand your knowledge, you'll leave each session with practical skills ready for immediate application.

understand the need for patience and personalized approaches. I strive to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment where no question is too simple, mistakes are part of the process, and you learn at your own pace.

Let’s dive into the exciting world of cybersecurity and build the skills to protect systems together!
