About

Crystal Richards

I’ve been a teacher my whole life. My first students learned how to play the flute when I was still in middle school, and my official journey began at nineteen—splitting my days between engineering classes and a preschool classroom.

Since then, I’ve taught just about every age and subject you can imagine: preschool, elementary, middle school, and high school. I’ve taught Algebra, art, graphic design, web design, music, media arts, and special education. Along the way, I learned that teaching isn’t about staying in one lane—it’s about meeting students where they are and helping them move forward.
