TESTIMONIALS

“At university, no matter how much you present yourself, there is a certain shyness, for fear of what the teacher or classmates will say. On the other hand, MIRIAM has given me the ability to speak confidently in public, to express my ideas without fear, because the process is integral. So I always raised my hand at the university because in MIRIAM we analyzed the context and I knew a little bit more for the courses.”
