Reviews for Kickstart School

I am satisfied with the classes.

Lessons were great thanks to Letty. We talk a lot in Dutch during lessons so it’s a good opportunity to practice and the book and kickstart lent content are also good

Dat was een prachtig cursus met kickstart en met Letty. Dank jullie wel.

Very good active docent Fun class Improved my dutch skills so i passed b1 exams

The course is challenging but very productive. Kathleen is a great teacher.

Kickstart school have friendly environment and teacher is patient.

I really enjoyed the classes and the assignments. The teacher is what makes the class very enjoyable. She is very engaging and explains things very clearly. She follows the lesson structure as the materials but does not shy away from stepping out of it in order to focus on what the class needs. The speaking practices are nice in the class but it’s hard to learn if other pupils in the class are not at the same level and I think it’s also hard for the teacher to pay attention to multiple conversations at once. Administration wise it was very easy to register, admins are very responsive.

Ik ben erg tevreden met de cursus. Het maakte het leren van Nederlands leuk en motiveerde mij om me verder te blijven verbeteren.

Nice people, friendly environment and a big progress.

Excellent. The teacher is really proffesional and motivated

Noticed significant improvement in Dutch speaking skills during the course.

My wife and I had the best experience starting our learning journey here. From the first interaction to ask for classes details, fast and detailed response from the admin team (Judith & Alexandra), easy to reach by bike / tram from Central Station, and the greatest highlight will be to have Onno as our doscent. He set the expectation clearly from the beginning, balanced the teaching pace for both of us, shared additional learning materials as follow up, the time spent in the class went so quickly without us realising and always so interactive and interesting. We have completed our Starterpack and definitely will continue with Stepping Stone in the near future. Ps. Can we candidly ask for a better mouse for the computer and maybe a better eraser for the white board :) Hartelijke groeten, C & I

Kickstart is always very easy to communicate with. I adviced the school to everyone I talk to. I think it is the best language course in Den Haag, with price range, quality of teaching, and atmosphere.

The teachers, lessons plans everything is very good. I already rocemmended to my friends.

I had a great time and learned a lot, having online classes is not easy yet I enjoyed the group and the lessons very much! Dank je wel Andie for your patience!

Andie is a great teacher who made me interested in the Dutch language and pushed me to keep learning. Her friendliness and care that she puts into the class made everyone feel welcomed and at ease with the language. The staff is also extremely helpful and they always respond very swiftly to any questions i had regarding the course.

I really enjoyed the Starter pack semi-intensive online class. Andie Bouma was an excellent and patient teacher. I struggled a little with the academic-ness of the class and wish that I had studied more and had more conversational Dutch outside of class. Overall, I would recommend Kickstart and encourage anyone who wants to learn Dutch to use it!

Good experience. The teacher is great

Excellent class , learned a lot . And have a lot to learn.

I appreciate they didn't cancel the course only for 2 students. The teacher is kind and friendly. The approach to practice before the lesson is also good.

The class was very structured and well paced. Andie was very professional and patient. I really enjoyed it.

good experience , nice teacher

I really enjoyed studying with Andie Im not sure if it would be amazing with another teacher but my experience with this course with Andie was very nice. She types the sentences in zoom chat also so that I can also write it down and she helps with correcting my wrong sentences. It was awkward with studying random people online but Andie made it bearable and it was very helpful!

I really enjoyed the Dutch Conversation Café. It was exactly what I was looking for. It had the best parts of a language course for me: speaking with interesting people while building confidence in Dutch without the pressure of lots of homework. The course was well organized, with activities that helped improve weaker areas, especially sentence structure. It’s a great way to build a solid foundation before moving to the next level. I noticed I felt much less hesitant to start speaking Dutch afterward. I’ve already signed up to take it again.
