Meet the Teacher
Kelly Fulkerson
I am a certified Kindergarten teacher with 22 years of early childhood teaching experience. I have won several distinguished awards as a teacher including Teacher of the Year at Jenks Northwest Elementary, Teacher of the Year for the Jenks School District, the Vision of Excellence in Teaching award and was a semi-finalist for the 2023 State Teacher of the Year. I was also awarded Teacher of the Day by Channel 6 News in 2020 and Teacher of the Game by the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2023. Teaching young readers is my passion and nothing thrills me more than seeing it “click” for young learners!
What I offer….
Improving reading skills is the primary focus of my tutoring sessions. With my extensive training in Heggerty and Orton-Gillingham methodology, a systematic and structured lesson schedule based on phonics, phonological awareness, syllabication, vocabulary and fluency will be tailored to meet your child where they are in the reading process. I focus only on students PreK-1st grade. I am able to help children who are just starting out, who are struggling with reading skills, readers who need more focused help to level up in their reading as well as strong readers who need more challenging reading goals.
