Scope: A structured program (10 sessions, 1 hour each) to prepare for a certification like AWS Solutions Architect or CCNA. Provide you with a study plan, explain difficult concepts, run mock question drills, and review their understanding.

Boundary: There is no guarantee you will pass, but I guarantee to provide the expert guidance to help you prepare.

Scope: One-off or recurring sessions focused on a specific topic you want to master (e.g., "Understanding BGP," "Mastering AWS IAM," "Terraform for Networking"). The session is purely educational.

Boundary: Teaching the concept, but won't design specific IAM policy or BGP configuration. We can use your problem as a case study to explain concepts.

Scope: A design or architecture you have already created. In the session, I could be your senior peer. I will review your diagram/document and ask guiding questions like:

• "Have you considered the security implications of this public subnet?"

• "What is your strategy for high availability here?"

• "Can you walk me through why you chose this EC2 instance type?"

Boundary: I provide feedback and point out potential pitfalls based on my experience. I won't create the design document for you or tell you "You must do X." I'll guide you to your own improved solution.

Scope: You shares your screen showing Terraform code, CloudFormation code, a router config, or a script you wrote. I will review it you, and will explaining best practices, pointing out potential errors, and teaching you why a certain approach could be better.

Boundary: I won't write or debug the code for you. I'll guide you in debugging it by yourself.
