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.

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.

My daughter struggles with dyslexia and dyscalculia. I was very happy with her teachers but she just needs that extra assistance. She smiles during her time with Katie and her learning is not stressed. She always finds new and exciting ways to keep her engaged and learning.

With increasing risk at private and public schools we decided to try Waypoint Education in conjunction with "home schooling" We were excited to learn that Waypoint would help us decide which courses would be most beneficial for our student. This has been a very simple process and most cost effective. We're not struggling with behavior issues any longer!!! Bravo W.E.!!
