My experience was very good. The interview went smoothly and naturally, led by an experienced professor, which made me feel secure and professional. During the conversation, I realized how important it is to show skill and clarity in my answers because the approach is direct but also welcoming. I really liked the environment: it was organized, respectful, and had a serious approach to the process. It's a place that inspires confidence and reinforces the idea that education is taken seriously and with commitment. I believe this is an excellent opportunity for those interested in learning, growing, and working in education. I highly recommend it for those who value a serious, professional space committed to development.
