At Story2Speech, we transform language learning from memorization to meaningful connection. By harnessing the power of storytelling, we create immersive, engaging lessons that make learning Spanish not just effective, but also deeply enjoyable.

We are a passionate mother-daughter team with deep expertise in language education. Yraida Ruiz, a Venezuelan-born Spanish teacher with over 20 years of experience, has taught all age groups — from elementary to high school — but has spent the majority of her career teaching high school Spanish, including advanced levels such as AP. As an AP reader for over 10 years and a tutor for Aralia, she brings a wealth of knowledge to every lesson. Holding a Master's in Education from Jean University in Spain, Yraida’s teaching journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to helping students connect with the language.

Andrea Ruiz, her daughter, is a polyglot fluent in Spanish, English, and French. With a Bachelor’s in English Literature and French from James Madison University and a Master’s in International Business from the Université de Poitiers, Andrea brings a unique perspective to language learning. Having lived in Venezuela, the U.S., and France, Andrea knows first-hand the power of language in fostering global communication. With over 10 years of experience in international sales, she understands how language drives success in business, travel, and cultural exchange.

Together, we bring a combined wealth of experience, passion, and expertise to Story2Speech. Our story-based approach immerses students in meaningful narratives, dynamic conversations, and vibrant cultures. We believe that language learning should feel natural, joyful, and human, and our lessons are designed to reflect that.
