@allisonavendao
Online Spanish teacher and research-minded educator who tailors lessons and delivers clear, bilingual support.
What I'm looking for
I’m an online Spanish teacher who designs customized curricula and adapts materials and exercises to each student’s needs, keeping learning practical and progress-focused. Alongside teaching, I’ve delivered customer support in fast-paced environments by resolving inquiries in English and Spanish and managing administrative operations with strong attention to accuracy.
I also bring a research and policy lens from my experience as a Research Intern with the “Gender and Labor” group at the University of Buenos Aires, where I presented my work on migration, gender, and women’s labor and experiences. I’m comfortable facilitating workshops, supporting community outreach, and applying structured analysis skills—like Data Analysis Using SPSS—to turn information into insights that guide decisions.
