MEET YOUR SPANISH TEACHER

I’m a native Spanish speaker who grew up in South America, with over 20 years of teaching experience, as well as more than 12 years of legal, medical, and community interpreting. These roles have provided me with extensive real-world experience in using Spanish in both professional and practical settings.


I have had the privilege of contributing to the Roaring Fork Valley through diverse community projects, such as serving as a liaison to bridge the gap between the Hispanic community and local town officials. In 2004, I was honored with the Jackie Morales Distinguished Award for Community Service, recognizing my dedication to fostering connections within the community. These experiences have profoundly deepened my cultural expertise and highlighted the essential role of language as a bridge for connection and understanding.

I am also a DELE Accredited Examiner for all levels of Spanish. The DELE exam (Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera) is widely considered the most recognized Spanish language test globally.

Teaching Spanish is my passion, and I’m dedicated to creating a warm, supportive environment where you feel encouraged every step of the way.

What Our Clients Are Saying About Learn Quick Spanish

We started doing Spanish lessons with Yanina in April of this year. We had asked Yanina to come to our office once a week and give us lessons to learn basic Spanish to enable us to communicate better with our crews.

Yanina has put together a personal program for our company allowing us to learn Spanish that would assist us within our workplace.

She is flexible when we need to relearn some items and adjusts the lessons as we move forward to suit our needs.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with her, and we all understand Spanish a lot more, can read Spanish and are starting to get to the point where we can communicate with confidence in Spanish. We plan to continue doing lessons with her for the unforeseeable future.

We highly recommend Yanina for your Spanish learning needs and for a personalized program.

Local Immersion Experiences with Your Native Spanish Teacher

Learning Spanish goes beyond the classroom—it’s about real-world connections. As part of our journey, I take my students to local immersion experiences right here in our towns, where you’ll have the opportunity to practice what you’ve learned and interact with native Spanish speakers in authentic settings.

These outings are not just about speaking Spanish—they’re about embracing the process. Together, we create a non-judgmental environment where mistakes are welcomed as stepping stones to success.

With me by your side, you’ll feel supported and confident as you build meaningful connections and grow your language skills through real-life interactions.

Creating Cultural Bridges Through the Spanish Language

Yanina has been especially effective working with the Hispanic residents who are often left out of formal community planning efforts. She saw this weakness and took on the cause of increasing Hispanic participation in community matters. One of her major accomplishments was engaging the Hispanic residents in the Basalt Master Planning effort ensuring that they had a voice in these critical proceedings. This was the first time that Hispanic residents were involved in a public effort to represent their issues.

She was amazing in how she created an atmosphere for people to feel safe to participate in these community programs and policy matters. To secure their participation she had to gain the residents’ trust, understand their sense of community and how they functioned in their own and the larger community. This was accomplished through her unique ability to be an advocate and liaison between the Hispanic community and the Town of Basalt without polarizing the situations.


Yanina has been instrumental in pioneering, not only Hispanic access to decision-making bodies, but assisting people in multiple complicated situations throughout the Roaring Fork Valley. Her focus on fairness and compassion gains the trust and respect of the people for whom she works as well as the people she serves. Yanina is a unique individual who can adapt successfully to any situation that she faces.



My team and I have worked with Yanina in many different capacities from influencing policy matters, to advocating for affordable housing, to making and presenting documentaries on Hispanic life and issues, as well as issue forums.

What Our Students Say About Us

"Our conversational Spanish class was so helpful! Yanina's teaching style allowed for every student in the class to grasp the information at our own pace and through our own learning style. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable way to begin to learn and store the Spanish language for everyday conversation with others."

"I took Yanina's 3-month beginner Spanish class at the Rifle Library before moving to Mexico in 2024.  It was a HUGE benefit.  We learned the basic foundations for beginners, as well as common/useful phrases when traveling in Spanish-speaking countries.  
I highly recommend her instruction.  She's very patient with beginners and makes learning a new language fun.  It's obvious that she really loves what she does!!"

"Yanina has surpassed my expectations of a Spanish teacher. She is an outstanding instructor and delightful person who is patient, kind, and easy-going with a wonderful sense of humor. She is well-prepared and makes good use of our limited time together. She encourages us to stay engaged by designing fun activities and lesson plans. I am impressed with her commitment to her students and genuinely caring about each one. Taking a language class with Yanina is a wonderful and meaningful experience!"
