¡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!

Maestra is very patient, understanding, makes sure you understand before moving forward and she makes learning Spanish fun. Although I overthink and forget what I have learned and already know when responding to the lesson, she makes you feel comfortable and helps you build confidence in yourself in order to speak Spanish.

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.

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.
