¡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.

My first lesson without Yris was terrific! She listened carefully to me and spoke clearly and slowly in return. I’m already looking forward to our next lesson!

Really enjoying these lessons and feel that I am learning words/phrases that will be helpful as I work in the Dominican Republic. Yris is so friendly and I leave every class with a smile. I am so excited to work with her!

This was my second lesson with her, and she is a very charismatic person. I was so nervous at first, but a few minutes into the first lesson, I realized that I had nothing to worry about. I recommend her for beginners because she quickly assessed the approach that would work for me, and I can say that it is effective.¡Muchas gracias!

Yris is fantastic. She is sensitive to students' needs, helps evaluate the direction that lessons need to go, and is just a wonderful and caring person. I look forward to my lessons and trust that Yris knows best how to help me reach my goals. Conversation is always interesting and challenging. She mixes harder days with easier days, which is a good method to keep students from being overwhelmed. I can't say enough good things. She is an excellent teacher.
