Hi! I'm Mr. Eddie, and I am excited to be working as an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher here at Picket Elementary School.
I feel very privileged to be working with my students helping them improve their English language skills and grow in confidence both inside and outside the classroom, showing them a view of the outside world to inspire them to overcome any possible limit.
