He was on a quest to train the North Korean Donju in Western-style business techniques, basically bringing honey-coated poison into North Korea with Kim Jong-un's blessing.
Andre says Donju would crowd into his classes.
People who ran retail shops, shoe factories, software companies, people with startup ideas.
The government even let Chosen Exchange take a group of entrepreneurs abroad to see how people ran businesses overseas.
Andre said some of the Donju were so poor they brought their luggage in plastic shopping bags.
But they were so excited to go and so excited to see everything.

The tech sector has grown a bit.
There's a domestic intranet and even an Amazon type company called Menmusang, where you order online anything from noodles to two by fours and can get them delivered to your door.
Andre Aberhamyan, the business teacher, says he has seen the effects of his teachings firsthand.
