Private Lessons & Coaches in Kent, WA

Hello! My name is Bitanya Mekuria, I’m a math major at Bellevue College , transferring to University of Washington. I have 5+ years of tutoring experience from helping family and neighbors to working at Renton Technical College and Bellevue College. I work with students of all ages in algebra, Geometry, Precalculus, calculus, intro to Statistics and linear algebra. My approach: explain the concept , work through examples together, then have you try practice problems. I also give time for Q&A

I've been working with students to improve their Mathematics skills for the better part of a decade. This includes young children in elementary school, adults in middle age trying to go back to school, and everything in between. I believe the key to effective tutoring is patience and understanding of the student's needs. Mastery of the subject matter is important, but adapting to a student's learning style is also paramount. I help with Algebra, Geometry, Calculus and everything in between!

I'm a Computer Science student here at Bellevue College, deep in the world of systems programming, network mechanics, and full-stack development.

I have worked with middle school, high school, and adult learners.

Whether you are brand new to dance or experienced and want to fine-tune your body mechanics, I meet each client where they are at and provide actionable feedback.

I’m Malcolm Albert, a Division III basketball player at Connecticut College and a lifelong student of the game. Growing up in Seattle, I developed my skills competing with Seattle Select AAU before completing a postgraduate season at Kimball Union Academy, where I had the opportunity to compete against high-level talent and continue growing as both a player and a leader. As a 6’4” shooting guard, my game is built around shooting, basketball IQ, and making winning plays. I pride myself on being a reliable catch-and-shoot player, creating scoring opportunities with smart movement, and constantly working to improve every part of my game. Basketball has taught me that success comes from consistency, discipline, and attention to detail. Those same principles are what I bring into every training session. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your game to the next level, my goal is to help you build confidence, sharpen your fundamentals, and develop skills that translate directly to game situations. I’m passionate about helping players improve because I know firsthand what it takes to grow through hard work and dedication.

"Our 10 year old son has been working with coach Eddie for three months and we have seen huge improvements in our son’s skill level and attitude towards practice. Eddie comes prepared to every session with well thought out drills and lessons. He has clearly thought through a variety of ways to teach each skill and given thought to progression over time. He is patient, kind, and hard working. Our son is excelling and has a more focused (but also fun) outlook on practice. He has been very open of our feedback and input on things we want to see in lessons and is a great collaborator. He has also been very flexible when we have needed to cancel or move a lesson over the summer when our schedules have been more fluid. We would highly recommend Eddie to anyone with kids looking to grow as basketball players.
