About
Hi! My names is Mrs. Katie Rickerson.
I am specialized in teaching the subjects of elementary reading, math, social studies and science. My love of teaching is fueled by failing statistics of our students in the area of reading. It is my hope to help as many students break out of their scholastic struggles before they lose their love of learning.

We are incredibly grateful to have had such a wonderful tutor supporting our daughter for the past four years. Throughout this time, she has shown tremendous patience, dedication, and genuine care for her learning and development.
She has been so much more than a tutor. She has helped our daughter grow academically, build confidence, and stay motivated even when things were challenging. We have truly seen a positive difference in her progress over the years.
Her commitment, kindness, and professionalism are exceptional, and we feel very fortunate to have had her as part of our daughter’s educational journey. She has become someone we deeply trust and appreciate as a family.
We highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, dedicated, and exceptional tutor. We are truly thankful for everything she has done for our daughter over these past four years!

Our older daughter was not doing well at school and after a LOT of research we decided to try Waypoint Education.
After just a few weeks the difference has been fantastic! I can’t say enough about how good Ms. Katie is at teaching! We will now be using Ms. Katie for all 3 daughters thru the summer and upcoming school year!
We highly recommend her tutoring services and I can promise you will not be disappointed.
Thanks for everything you do Ms. Katie! The girls really love you!!

Katie has made a significant impact on my grandsons. She is very intune with their strengths and weaknesses. Her evaluation of their educational placement was spot on. She always comes prepared to address their needs and interests. Both boys have shown wonderful improvements in all areas. Katie is knowledgeable about their schools' curriculum and current techniques and applies this to their sessions. In addition, she is professional yet friendly and understanding of both the boys' special needs or gifted skills. I would highly recommend her to you.
