He has worked for the past 7 years with Mathworks as a master teacher in our program. Eduardo has a wonderful way of engaging teachers in doing mathematics, while showing teachers ways to engage students in the joy of mathematical exploration and discovery."

"Mr. Reyna's inservice session on our campus was not only very informative and educational but also fun! We could all identify with every thing he talked about, and he had some excellent teaching strategies he shared with everyone!"
- Maria Del Pilar Garza, PSJA ISD, Principal

"With a teacher's heart and a magician's wonder, Mr. Eduardo Reyna has entertained, taught, and amazed my first grade students for the last eight years. He has conducted magic shows for my classroom and for an audience of several classrooms. Always, as he wows students and teachers alike with his magic, he teaches fundamental math skills and lessons of personal character. The magic in his magic show is not the tricks, but the lessons he weaves in between. Students, who saw his magic show at the end of the school year, remember it for a lifetime. Mr. Reyna's magical spells last forever."
- Sylvia Padilla, Mission CISD, Teacher

"Mr. Eduardo Reyna has provided excellent teacher staff development for new and veteran teachers for the last ten years. He captures the attention of his audience and inspires everyone in attendance on the wonders and miracles of teaching. His lessons are valuable to teachers who teach low-level students, gifted students, and every type of student in-between. He imparts his wisdom and love for teaching to all who listen. No one hears his lessons without having learned something new, or having his/her spirit filled with a greater passion for our profession and a stronger commitment for those who we teach-young students. As a teacher, he made a difference in students. As a teacher of teachers, he made a difference in teachers. The difference he has made in students, teachers, parents, and other colleagues is God sent."
- Dr. George Padilla, McAllen ISD, Administrator

"Mr. Reyna shared some critical Number Sense strategies and shortcuts with the students at our campus. The information was very organized and easy to understand. He also performed some awesome magic tricks that kept the students excited, alert, and motivated. I really enjoyed the Number Sense workshop and it was obvious the students did as well."
