Hello, my name is Yuri. I can speak Spanish and English. I am a good listener, a good communicator, and a cheerful person. I like listening to music, dancing, singing, and reading.
As a teacher and a student, I believe that the main key to learning a language is enjoyment because when we enjoy something we are more likely to stay motivated to keep learning, and at the same time, it will be easier to find opportunities where we can use and practice the language.
Me as a Teacher
I have more than 3 years of work experience as an online English and Spanish tutor with Asian students (mainly Japanese), with whom I have been able to help develop and improve their communication skills. My goal is for you to be able to express yourself naturally and without having to worry about grammar or making mistakes, which is why I am dedicated to building a warm and relaxed learning environment that fosters enthusiasm and appreciation for the Spanish language through the use of authentic materials.
My lessons & teaching style
I would like to get to know you a little bit first and based on your interests suggest topics and ideas to use in our next classes. I possess a great ability to adapt class materials and teaching styles to the needs of my students. Promoting learning as an active and motivating process through free conversation or the use of online resources useful for learning real-life conversations such as daily news, music, articles, short video clips and images is one of my main priorities. All to ensure that you learn Spanish in a fun and meaningful way.
Please allow me to be part of this exciting language journey!
Hope to see you soon! :)

El tiempo pasó volando porque ella es muy agradable y amable! También me dio feedback y enlaces para leer después incluso me investigó cosas y me respondió sobre mis dudas. Fue una experiencia muy divertida y completa. Voy a apuntarme en otra clase con ella.

¡Muchas gracias, Yuri! Aprendí muchas frases útiles.
Yuri is an effective listener, and she provided me with a lot of helpful feedback and encouraged me to listen to more Spanish movies.
Plus, she wrote written corrections for me and provided me with some links to check out. Overall, I enjoyed having her as a conversational partner.^^
