About Me
Mijn naam is Marleen. Ik heb talen en marketing gestudeerd en ben momenteel gepensioneerd na een jarenlange loopbaan als management assistant, operations manager en event organiser in multinationals, waar ik de vier talen doorlopend gebruikt heb. Dit niet enkel voor informele dagdagelijkse spreek- en schrijftaal, maar ook voor handels- en correspondentietaal. Ik hou van talen en wil graag mijn kennis overbrengen aan anderen, die het misschien wat moeilijker hebben om een taal onder de knie te krijgen. De lessen kunnen plaatshebben aan de hand van lesmateriaal van de student(e) ofwel zoek ik zelf lessen, oefeningen, artikels, enz. op, naargelang de noden en interesses. Ik ben geen leerkracht, doch reeds langer bezig met private (of kleine groepen) taallessen, waaronder ook enkele jaren in Dubai. Ik ben de ganse week beschikbaar en kom, indien de afstand het toelaat, bij de student(e) thuis. Een vrijblijvend kennismakingsgesprek is steeds mogelijk.
Education
Handelsstudies in het middelbaar onderwijs. Dit houdt in o.a. handelscorrespondentie in vier talen, steno, handelsrecht, dactylo, telefoonetiquette, enz. Talen in bachelor en marketing in bachelor plus specialisatie communicatie.
Experience / Qualifications
Jarenlange ervaring in multinationale bedrijven waar ik de vier talen doorlopend heb gebruikt en met vele nationaliteiten in contact ben geweest.

My passion is speaking to a large audience and another passion helping people.

When speaking in public, I am easily moved by my audience. I speak clearly, clearly and in contact with myself. That was one of my motivations to become a teacher.
In addition, guidance is also one of my qualities: guidance in fears, bringing healing. I have had training in which I learned techniques to heal fears and traumas.

My intention in a process together with you:
* let you tell your own story (for an audience), in contact with yourself
* resolve all fears and other blockages that prevent you.

I speak Dutch and can also guide you in French and in English.

Are you - just like me - curious about what is possible?

I teach (basic) Dutch to (young) adults who speak other languages. The purpose of the lesson is to be able to have easy and simple conversations in daily life. In addition, there is also practice on language comprehension and written language production. We practice Dutch on the basis of role plays, audio clips and newspaper articles. Also people who already have some knowledge of Dutch are more than welcome to join. During the first lesson we will discuss your requirements so that I can adapt my lessons accordingly.

Focus is to learn and enhance skills in story-telling smoothness, speech making competences and public speaking proficiency with ease. Beginners and intermediate are welcome...no one should ever relent from learning and acquiring new set of skills or enhancement!

As someone with degrees in both philosophy and psychology my background allows me to draw on principles from the science of learning to help students make meaningful progress without wasted effort. In my past experience as a tutor and special educator, I have learned to create lessons that are efficient, focused, and tailored to each learner’s goals.

I study other languages myself, so I understand firsthand the challenges that come with language learning. I use that experience to offer practical strategies that help students overcome common obstacles and stay motivated. Whether you're looking to build confidence in conversation, break out of a vocabulary-learning rut, improve your writing, or sharpen your understanding of grammar, I can help guide your progress with clarity and purpose. (Bonus: It so happens that I am originally from New York City, so if you're looking to learn with someone who has a clear and recognizably American accent, you’re in the right place).

- Do you want to learn how to spell words correctly and write them in sentences?

If your answer is 'yes' to one of those questions, you are in the right place.

The best way to understand a language is being exposed to it, whether through books, movies, songs or social media. In my classes, only motivation is required. During the first class, we explore your needs and what I can offer you. Outside and during my classes, you are your own teacher. The higher you expose yourself to the language, the quicker you'll master it. I am your coach who will guide you through it and give you some tools along with tips and tricks to master the basics.

- Do you want to learn how to pronounce words correctly and use them in sentences?
- Do you want to learn how to spell words correctly and write them in sentences?
- Do you want to be able to read and understand French and/or Dutch?
If your answer is 'yes' to one of those questions, you are in the right place.

At work, at home, at parties, and everywhere else, good communication is indispensable to be able to understand each other. A language is meant to be spoken and understood. The best way to understand a language is being exposed to it, whether through books, movies, songs or social media. In my classes, only motivation is required. During the first class, we explore your needs and what I can offer you. Outside and during my classes, you are your own teacher. The higher you expose yourself to the language, the quicker you'll master it. I am your coach who will guide you through it and give you some tools along with tips and tricks to master the basics. I am willing to help you as long as you need. If you want my help one hour for French and one hour for Dutch per week, or only 30 minutes/week for Dutch, that is up to you! Additionally, I offer group sessions of maximum 4 persons per session. It is your responsability to look for your classmates if that is something you are up to.
