I believe the answer is:

cybernaut

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'internet whiz' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'nearby cut off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'nearby'+'cut'='nearbycut'
'nearbycut' anagrammed gives 'CYBERNAUT'.

Can you help me to learn more?
