Hello there. I was born and currently live in the Domincan Republic and I am married with a son. Whilst I have no formal teaching qualifications I have taught my British husband Spanish from no language skills at all to now being fluent and I also taught my son who is 14 to be bi lingual Spanish English. I think being able to converse in two or more languages is a real benefit in life and it would be my pleasure to help you on your Spanish language Journey. When I am not taking care of my family I like to exercise my mind and I am currently learning Korean. I enjoy cooking , walking and reading and my biggest joy is my garden especially growing and keeping Orchids of which I have over 150.
Me as a Teacher
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.
My lessons & teaching style
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.

I always greatly enjoy my Spanish lessons with Yris. She is incredibly reliable and I can always count on her to be there for the lesson. She is the most friendly, helpful and genuine person. She has helped me immensely with verb conjugations for past, present, and future tenses. When I started with her I could only say basic things in present tense and had no ability to hold a conversation. Now I am essentially able to hold 30 minute conversations. She does a great job helping me expand my vocabulary and fill in gaps in what I would like to say during a conversation. I still have a long way to go but she has helped me come so far in speaking Spanish and I am so grateful for that.

THE BEST TEACHER HAND DOWN!! I've tried other tutors but she is the only one that makes learning Spanish enjoyable and effective at the same time. The pace is always catered to you and her patient level is excellent. She makes the conversations effortless and most times it feels as though you are talking to a relative. Every class I see progression which has led me to completing 11 lessons with her and looking to book plenty more in the future!
