"Great Instructor. Giving easy explanation.

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'm a Computer Science student here at Bellevue College, deep in the world of systems programming, network mechanics, and full-stack development. Before deving into software engineering, I spent five years working in the banking industry in China, which taught me a lot about real-world problem-solving, attention to detail, and managing complex systems.

I am a Mathematics student at the University of Washington with over four years of tutoring experience in math, science, English, and SAT preparation. As a College Board SAT Math tutor, I created personalized study plans and helped students improve their scores. My teaching style is interactive and discussion-based: students explain their reasoning, predict next steps, and build problem-solving intuition. I have worked with middle school, high school, and adult learners.

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!

"Great as usual, the kids are learning new skills in each lesson

I’m Wayne Mendezona, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Corban University and founder of Quick Handle Basketball. I’ve spent over 30+ years developing athletes and have trained more than 50,000 players—from youth to college and professional levels. I specialize in ball handling, scoring, and game performance—helping athletes build confidence, decision-making, and real in-game results. My training is not just drills—it’s about developing complete players who can perform under pressure, think the game, and separate themselves from the competition. I don’t train average. I train athletes who are serious about growth, discipline, and competing at a higher level. If that’s you, let’s get to work.

"My son said Coach Mendo was far and away the most effective coach he's ever worked with! His knowledge, tools, and willingness to share wisdom are incredible. I've never seen my son so impressed by a coach or heard him so enthusiastic about what he learned in a session. Very grateful!
