Great school

Our son followed first an English summer course and continued then online once per week online. His language skills improved; the teacher was experienced, helpful, and flexible about alternative dates if necessary. Very recommendable.

Encouraging

Overall I have to say that it has been a positive experience. Sometimes I personally struggled to understand the grammar, and the way has been explained did not really helped. However, thanks to Jeannine I felt engaged and motivated to learn

Exceeded Expectations!

Prior to starting this course I had struggled with some self study materials particularly with the listening and speaking side of things. I found this course and the focus on listening and speaking to be incredibly helpful in gaining confidence to speak it and also by offering a safe environment to practice with the class and teacher. Carine was the absolute highlight of the course, she did such a great job of encouraging us, teaching, supporting and correcting mistakes in a non discouraging way. Even after the first few lessons I felt comfortable practicing Dutch out and about and am looking forward to starting the next course.

A nice way to start learning Dutch

I found the school's materials to be excellent addition to the main book, and the explanations given by the teacher were really helpful. However, the fast pace of the course may not be suitable for everyone, as it can be quite challenging to keep up with. School's administration was also very helpful with all my questions.

Enjoyable, fast paced Dutch learning

We had a very nice Dutch instructor, Carine Smits. She did a great job explaining the concepts and keeping the course engaging. I learned so much more than I had in the past trying to self study. Bedankt voor de lessen!

Well organized and good teaching

Kickstart is really well organized and the courses give you access to a great range of language resources. The teaching is also very good and focuses on making sure you can use what you learn! I really like that everyone takes turns to give a presentation in Dutch each lesson.
