About Me

Mijn naam is Marleen Vermeulen. 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. Daar ook de businesstaal geleerd per brief, email, telefoon, SMS, WA, enz.
