¡Hola! I’m your go-to guide for *living* Spanish—Dominican style! Born and raised in the DR, I bring the rhythm of our culture into every lesson: think slang that sparkles, pronunciation that pops, and conversations that flow like a *merengue* beat. No textbooks? No problem! I’ve turned my British husband from "¿qué?" to fluent and raised my son bilingual—proof that real-world practice trumps rigid rules. My superpower? Making learners *comfortable* while they fumble, laugh, and grow. When I’m not teaching, I’m whispering to my orchids or flipping *tostones*—because language, like good food, should be savored with joy. Ready to chat like a local? Let’s dive in!
Ich als Lehrkraft
Whilst I have no formal qualifications in teaching I do have practical experience and have taught both my husband and son Spanish and both are now fluent. I am a community teacher and can help you with your conversation and also your pronunciation. I believe that teacher and student must have a real connection as without it I dont think any student can learn. Trust in someone who is teaching you is so important as it allows the student to relax and be at ease and once that is in place they can learn with no worry about being embarrassed if they make a mistake etc. I am the teacher that will do this.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My style of teaching is very informal and I think that with a more relaxed environment best results will come. I will make use of internet resources as well as Italki and we can read together and have many different conversations about a whole range of topics. This will help not only your range of vocabulary but also your pronunciation. If you do not like to be corrected then I suggest you look for another tutor. I think making mistakes is part of the learning process and therefore it is important that you are told. Being comfortable and having fun whilst you are learning is of paramount importance to me.

Yris continues to make learning Spanish conversation fun for me! She asks interesting questions and listens attentively as I work to answer her. I am very grateful for her help!

I've now had a number of lessons with Yris and each one has been terrific! She is always attentive to my language learning needs - listening carefully and speaking clearly in return. I am very grateful to be learning from her!

Maestra Yris is very encouraging and very helpful. I love her teaching skills and her class is fun. What ever you don’t understand she will explain it thoroughly before moving on. She also meets you right where you are. She makes you feel comfortable with speaking even if you don’t get it right.

I had a brief introduction class. She had me make short sentences from a select list of words that I knew and some I didn’t know. Really enjoyed the relaxed but informative lesson.
