The Manchester City striker lent his services to BBC Bitesize after agreeing to help deliver a lesson in basic Spanish from his back garden.
After introducing himself, Aguero taught his young British students how to count from 1 to 12 in his native tongue.
The Argentina international certainly has the calm, open yet authoritative air of a good teacher, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him rule a room full of 30 students as well as he rules Premier League defenders in most games he plays.
Today's teacher is @aguerosergiokun. He's here to help you count to 12 in Spanish!

Aguero isn't the first footballer to turn teacher since the lockdown began. Here's a few more enthusiastic amateurs.

The Manchester United striker has shone brilliantly during lockdown, using his position to help out millions of the most vulnerable people in his local community.
As well as his work with various charities, food banks, schools and shelters, Rashford also found time to stand in as a "celebrity supply teacher" and deliver a PE lesson for kids to follow at home.
David Luiz
Confined to his home like everybody else, Luiz decided to produce his very own workout videos to help motivate his social media followers and keep them active during quarantine.
The Arsenal defender even launched his own fitness YouTube channel (under the guise of "The Geezer") and invited a few of his teammates along to help out.

In perhaps the most unusual example of lockdown schooling, Brighton striker Murray decided the time was right to try and teach his young daughter to speak Latin.
"The Latin isn't too bad at the minute, we're on very basic stuff like animal names," Murray said. "She's seven, so I can just about manage."

Playtime is a particular strength in the Messi household as Thiago, Ciro and Mateo are kept occupied with a good old-fashioned story book and the occasional game of Uno.

You wouldn't think it possible, but the Liverpool man managed to up his gloriously deadpan social media game to new heights as lockdown rolled on.
Preparing to home school his children, "Mr. Milner" prepared his classroom in trademark fashion, i.e. really boringly.
