We offer you a serious courses

At AVATAR we teach three different languages, Spanish, Portuguese, and English at all levels of knowledge. Online or in person. Individual or group classes. If necessary, students will be evaluated and directed to the right course, according to their level of the language. On the other hand, in our classes, we use textbooks from reputable Spanish, Brazilian, American, and British publishers. Those books are the backbone of our courses. In addition to the textbook, we use various materials to enrich our classes. These materials allow the student to have a clear idea of the different aspects of the Hispanic, Luso-Brazilian, and Anglo-Saxon worlds. In addition, we will send students additional assignments so they have more practice material and they can feel more confident when using their knowledge in real situations.
 
In our method, we work seriously, and the courses adopt the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, which has six different levels, from A1 to C2 (CEFR – see below).
