About Me
italki teacher since Feb 26, 2019InterestsMusicHistoryTravel
My name is Christian Damian Avolio, a Spanish professional teacher and native speaker from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I´m also an official DELE examiner (Spanish official diploma of competence and mastery of the Spanish language, granted by Spain's Ministry of Education). I have been teaching Spanish as a second language for 15 years and counting. I am fluent in English and Portuguese; I have Italian and French intermediate level and currently learning Mandarin Chinese and German.Me as a Teacher
I love teaching and learning languages. I personally believe that when you do something because you really like it, this reflects directly in the results. I teach all levels and ages, focusing my lessons on the student’s needs. Due to my 20 years experience as a foreign languages student, I believe that with a good guide, focus and commitment, you can learn a foreign language faster and better, no matter where or how old you are. My lessons & teaching style
I like to use a communicative approach so you will be speaking even from a beginner level. A contrastive approach may be really useful sometimes, so you will be able to correct your own mistakes faster and with more consciousness. Learning a foreign language faster and more efficiently is possible if you have the right tools.My teaching material

Unflappable and patient even on days when my brain doesn't seem to want to absorb any information.
