Testimonials HEA

At the age of 23, I was invited to teach and, having arrived at the School, now on the other side as a teacher, I realized that I was facing an even greater demand. Demand that led me to make an extra effort to teach, study and maintain my work, since being in the job market and teaching at the same time, allow me to be up to date and teach students content very close to the business reality. But maintaining all this activity takes the teacher away from his own life because of teaching, leading him sometimes to sacrifice his personal and family life.
