PAIGE HOWELL~ Hi, I am the owner of Achieve Learning Partners, LLC. I hold a BS from the University of Kentucky and a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) from the University of Louisville. I hold an internationally recognized TESOL certification and have taught ESL to children ages 3-16. 

I love teaching and I love learning. I have been in the field of education for 30 years.  In those 30+ years, I have taught, substituted, and owned a Sylvan Learning Center. 

As a teacher, I have taught all academic subjects for elementary-age students and study skills to middle school, high school, and college students. I put my heart and soul into my students and classes. I work hard to meet students right where they are and scaffold my teaching to test student retention and base knowledge.  

I love to make learning fun and engaging while also encouraging students to use their critical thinking skills. As a mother and teacher, I know it takes a village - teacher, parent, and student and I want to be part of your village. 

More about me - I am a mother of two boys. I lived on the East Coast in Jacksonville, Florida for over 30 years. However, in the summer of 2020, my husband and I became empty nesters and took off on a new adventure as his job relocated us to Colorado. We are an active family that loves exploring the outdoors and all that comes with it from the animals to the topography.

I am a lifelong learner and an avid reader but have fallen in love with audio books that I can listen to ALL the time. Therefore, you will often find me hiking and listening to a book at the same time (enjoying two of my favorite things at one time).     

I hope to see you in class soon.  ~ Paige

In my classes, your students will find meaningful lessons designed to keep students engaged while having fun learning online.

Outside of work, I'm a mother of four, and I enjoy cooking and exploring different cuisines, which brings my family together.

ASHLEY HARPER - As a former public school teacher in Ohio, I have earned a bachelor’s degree in Middle Childhood Education: Math, Language Arts, & K-12 Reading and a master’s degree in Curriculum & Instruction: Gifted & Talented Education. Over the past 10 years as an educator in both public school and virtual learning settings, I have tutored 4th through 9th Grade Math, Reading, and Writing, and I have also taught 6th and 8th Grade Math to all levels of learners, Algebra I to enriched/gifted students, and K-12 English Language Arts and Reading to international students.  

As a member of the Achieve Learning Partners teaching team, I currently teach a variety of reading comprehension and fluency classes to 1st through 5th-grade learners. Additionally, I offer a variety of personalized math tutoring opportunities for middle school students through my own Outschool platform. Feel free to explore my other classes here - https://outschool.com/teachers/Ashley-Harper-2023

While teaching and tutoring, I find the greatest joy in helping students master skills they previously found challenging by providing plenty of practice, encouragement from me, and making connections to what they are learning. I love providing my students with multiple opportunities to interact with new skills while also encouraging them to select learning strategies that work best for them and connect most to them along the way. An important part of learning anything new is a positive mindset and willingness to give your very best effort as you explore and practice - I am here to help! 

My continuous goal will always be to help students grow their confidence, self-awareness, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills from class to class, learn from mistakes, stretch their thinking, and learn something new!

Although much of my time is spent teaching and tutoring, outside of the classroom I love spending time with my family - my husband, our sweet baby girl, and our spunky dog - as well as enjoying family hikes, curling up with a good book, practicing yoga, and baking new recipes for my family to try!

I cannot wait to meet YOU and get to know you more as an individual and as a learner! 

See you in class! ~ Ashley

ERIKA MARRIE -  I am the proud mom to 4 beautiful daughters and crazy, little dog named Sugar. I have been a primary school classroom teacher in Canada for 19 years. I hold a Bachelor of Education degree and am certified by the Ontario College of Teachers. I have specialized in Early Years Kindergarten Instruction, with
additional qualifications and coursework in special education and behavioral sciences. Recently, I have completed training in Structured Literacy. I love working with students and teaching literacy classes

JACLYN KRULIA (MS. Jackie) - I earned my Bachelor's from the University of Georgia and my Masters from American College of Education (in Curriculum and Instruction).  I'm a certified elementary school teacher with 15 years of general education classroom experience in grades 1-3.  In that time I was nominated for Teacher of the Year several times and won in 2020-2021.   I became an online school teacher in 2024.  

I strongly believe the instruction in the classroom should be guided by the students.  The teacher’s role is to foster a community of learners by developing a foundation of trust and respect among the diverse classroom students.  The positive atmosphere created will then grant both the teacher and the students liberty to take creative risks.  I prefer a teaching style that's interactive and hands-on, making it fun and engaging. Seeing kids enjoy the learning process truly warms my heart.  Children are our most precious gifts, and I'm passionate about helping them become their best selves!

On a more personal note, I live outside of Atlanta, Georgia, USA.  I have been married to my husband for 12 wonderful years and we have two little girls ages 7 and 9.  We added a silly sheepadoodle named Callaway to the family about two years ago. 

I look forward to seeing you in class and watching your child learn and grow! ~ Ms. Jackie

KRISTEN LONG ~ Holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education from Florida Atlantic University. I am a certified elementary educator in two states. I hold PreK-5 teaching certification with an ESOL
endorsement in Ohio. In Florida, I hold K-6 teaching certification in elementary education and
K-12 certification in English for Speakers of Other Languages. I have 8 years of experience as a
general elementary classroom teacher and 15 years of experience working with children in
educational settings overall.

As a general educator, I taught kindergarten for 3 years and second grade for 5 years.
Throughout this time, I worked with students of varying needs and ability levels, including ESE
and ESOL. In my most recent role, I was department head of second grade while concurrently
teaching a gifted and enrichment cluster of 18 students. No matter what level my students start
at, my joy in teaching comes from providing students with scaffolded support and watching each student gain confidence in themselves as they progress.

My teaching style is very student-centered. I enjoy creating a class environment where students
not only feel a sense of belonging but also know that their unique perspectives and contributions
to learning are valued by myself and their peers. I make an effort to incorporate project-based
learning where I can, and allow students choice. I like to encourage students through their
frustrations as I firmly believe self-confidence and creative problem-solving skills are developed
through facing challenges, taking chances, making mistakes, and learning through them.
In addition to my work with Achieve Learning Partners, I also offer classes and tutoring for
elementary-aged students on my personal Outschool page which you can access here:
https://outschool.com/teachers/Teacher-Ms-Long

When it comes to my personal life, spending time with my family is very important to me. I also
love to spend my off time on nature walks and hikes. I am very creative, and interested in science,
and I like to travel and experience other cultures. I enjoy completing puzzles and practicing both
yoga and meditation.

I am excited to support your child’s educational journey and to collaborate with you, the parents,
to foster emotional and academic growth.

Your partner in learning! ~ Kristen Long
