Narrative:

While conducting flight training with a student pilot within the local area of ZZZ airport; approaching thunderstorms forced me to divert to ZZZ1. After landing upon exiting the runway; the wind and rain intensified; and I departed the taxiway into the uncontrolled tie-down area intending to secure the airplane. While taxiing slowly; with the proper control positioning; down the line to the one available spot a wind gust pushed my aircraft sideways and the leading edge of my right wing made contact with the nose of an unattended; secured/tied-down twin engine aircraft (aztec). After performing the engine shutdown I used the tow bar to direct my aircraft into the vacant spot and then tied down. At that time I called my employers via cell phone; who dispatched a rep along with an authority/authorized mechanic who upon inspection deemed the aircraft I was flying airworthy. Sometime thereafter I flew the aircraft solo back to ZZZ without incident. My employers promptly contacted the owners of the aztec and have become engaged with the FAA and the insurance companies. I am familiar with 49 crash fire rescue equipment part 830; I am confidant that damage would not constitute substantial damage nor were either myself nor my student hurt or injured in any way. I am submitting this report because it is my sincere desire to be the safest most responsible pilot possible. I strictly adhere to the regulations; use sound judgment; and view my occupation as a privilege. In the future I will continue to do my absolute best to fly safely and conduct myself in a manner that demonstrates my respect for the aviation community.
