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.

This was my first time using italki. I have to say that for my very first lesson ever, Mrs. Yris made it special for me. So was so kind! She complimented my pronunciation and encouraged me to review the new vocabulary we discussed today. She was so helpful and fun. We laughed together and I really look forward to booking my next class with her. I’m very familiar with Spanish, but I have never reach a level of fluency and am out of practice a bit. Today, Mrs. Yris made me feel so comfortable and welcome. She smiled a lot and her lesson was easy to understand. She made sure I understood what she said. Estoy emocionada por la siguiente clase! 😊 Muchas gracías Señora Yris!

Yris is the best Spanish teacher. She is very patient with me and listen carefully to my grammar, pronunciation and correct me. I am able to feel more confident as I continue my lesson with her. I highly recommend Yris.

Another great class with YRiS . Today I was so grateful that she taught me numerous Dominican phrases that Dominicans use on a daily basis .
Thank you again YRiS for a great class ☺️

First time meeting Yris today. Even though we scheduled to meet months prior to this , I am so grateful we both was able to enjoy each other time and have a very efficient class . Yris speaks very smooth and slow enough for you to understand and also the perfect fit if you are interested in learning Dominican Spanish .
