Hi there! My name is Yris, and I’d love to help you improve your Spanish.
I’m from the Dominican Republic, so I bring the rhythm, culture, and even some Dominican slang into my lessons to make learning more fun and authentic. I have over 4 years of teaching experience and have helped many students become confident Spanish speakers—including my own husband and son, who are now fluent.
My goal is to create a comfortable and supportive environment where you feel confident speaking from day one. Don’t worry about making mistakes—that’s part of the process! I will guide you, correct you, and help you improve step by step.
I can help you with:
• Conversation practice
• Grammar
• Pronunciation
• Dominican expressions
I believe that a good connection between teacher and student is key to learning. When you feel relaxed and supported, you learn faster and enjoy the process more.
My teaching style is informal and interactive. I use a variety of online resources, including articles and real-life topics, so we can read, discuss, and practice Spanish in a natural way.
If you're ready to start speaking Spanish with confidence, I’d love to meet you. Let’s learn together!

I’ve taken around 80 lessons with Yris, and my Spanish has improved a ton throughout my lessons with her.
When I first started, I could barely put together a full sentence. But Yris met me exactly where I was and made the lessons feel comfortable and fun even when speaking felt really intimidating. She is incredibly warm, patient, and easy to connect with. She also creates an environment where you don’t feel embarrassed to make mistakes.
As I’ve improved, our lessons have evolved. Now our classes feel like natural conversations which is exactly the kind of practice I need as I get more comfortable using Spanish in real situations. She still corrects me and helps me sound more natural, but the lessons never feel stressful or forced.
I’m incredibly grateful I found Yris. She is a great teacher and an awesome person. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their Spanish!

Before I started lessons with Yris, I had a few false starts with instructors I didn’t connect with. But during my first lesson with her, I finally felt comfortable practicing speaking. I’ve now taken around 80 lessons with Yris and my Spanish has improved so much through my conversations with her.
When I first started, I could barely put together a full sentence. Yris met me exactly where I was and still made the lessons feel comfortable and fun even when speaking felt really intimidating. She is incredibly warm, patient and easy to connect with. She also creates an environment where you never feel embarrassed to make mistakes.
As I’ve improved, the lessons have shifted more into pure conversation, which is exactly what I need as I get more comfortable using Spanish in real life. She still corrects me and helps me sound more natural, but the lessons never feel stressful or forced. I highly recommend her to anyone no matter their current level!

It has been an absolute pleasure to receive help from Yris with my Spanish skills! She made every lesson fun and productive as I was preparing to visit the Dominican Republic. If you are looking for a kind, attentive, and helpful Spanish tutor, I highly recommend her. Gracias Yris por todo.

Maestra Yris is an awesome teacher. I love the fact that she makes all the lessons enjoyable, clear and understandable. Her energy makes you want to learn more and push to move forward with your learning process. I have been learning Spanish for years and it's the patience for me. She explains everything thoroughly and she does not move forward until you understand. Wonderful teacher. She makes learning Spanish fun.

Yris has been the secret to my Spanish recall adventure... I studied Spanish many, many years ago, and my sessions with her are truly helping me pull up the words and grammar from the deepest recesses of my brain! Yris makes this process both fun and productive. Thank you!
