About Me
italki teacher since Nov 4, 2021
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.

Just had my first class :)
She's a very, VERY nice and extremely patient teacher. Her smile can warm everyone's heart and she has this bright personality about her. Even though I'm back to being a beginner (It's been nearly ten years since my Spanish class back in High School), she was patient enough as I stumbled over my words and she wrote down words that she said that I didn't understand.
I plan to have another class with her.

Gracias por otra lección productiva. Flexible as always. Clear plan and suggestions for every lesson, but the student still has the option of choosing the direction of the lesson/conversation

I love every lesson that I have with YrisM. She is a wonderful and friendly teacher. She makes me feel so comfortable talking in a language that I am not very comfortable with talking in. She is very patient with me and I appreciate that.

This teacher is so wonderful! I have had the best time in her classes. I am learning so much and I feel that my Spanish is really improving especially my ability to speak in past, present, and future tenses. I feel that this class is really helping improve my conjugation skills as well as practice speaking. She has customized the class specifically to my needs and has met me where I am at. She is always so helpful, kind, and friendly. I could not ask for more.
