About

Built for families who are always moving. Grounded in the belief that every child deserves continuity.

Waypoint Education grew out of a simple observation: families posted abroad — whether with the US government or a multinational company — struggle to find consistent, high-quality academic support for their children. We set out to fix that.

Our origin

DOS Tutors — where it started

Waypoint Education began as DOS Tutors — a tutoring platform purpose-built for US State Department employees and their families posted abroad. State Department families face a unique educational challenge: frequent moves between countries, interrupted schooling, and inconsistent access to quality tutoring in time zones that don't align with US-based services.

DOS Tutors solved this by building a network of university-student tutors available across all time zones — matched to each child's grade level, subject needs, and schedule. Sessions are delivered virtually, DSSR-reimbursable through the State Department's education allowance, and documented for reimbursement from day one.

Today, DOS Tutors operates as a dedicated program within Waypoint Education — serving State Department families at posts worldwide while the broader Waypoint platform extends the same infrastructure to corporate expat families, international students, domestic US families, and underserved communities.

Why university-student tutors — and why it works

The tutoring industry defaults to credentialed specialists at premium prices. Waypoint Education takes a different view.

Closer in age, closer in experience
University students recently navigated the exact academic content your child is working through — SAT prep, AP courses, college essays, middle school transitions. That proximity matters. They remember what was hard and how they solved it.
Virtual by design
Every session is delivered virtually. This isn't a limitation — it's the architecture. A family in Singapore, Frankfurt, Brownsville, or Chicago all receive the same quality of matched, grade-appropriate tutoring. Geography is not a variable.
AI-assisted personalization
For the Year-End Gap Closer program, we use AI to generate individualized learning plans from each student's year-end assessment. Every plan is specific to that child's gaps — not a generic summer workbook.
