Crystal Williams
@crystalwilliams
Experienced international early-years and primary teacher specializing in culturally rich, individualized learning.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced international pre-K, kindergarten and primary teacher with over a decade of classroom practice across Europe and Asia.
I design and implement developmentally appropriate, culturally enriched curricula—most notably the "Citizens of The World" diversity curriculum launched at an inaugural international kindergarten in Gliwice, Poland.
I have taught children aged 2–14, led summer camps as an arts & crafts and aerobics instructor, and consistently help young learners develop English fluency and core school skills through play, music, sensory activities, and structured lessons.
I thrive on cultural exchange, travel, and building trusting relationships with families; I seek seasonal caregiving or tutoring roles where kindness, creativity, and curiosity are valued.
