Reviews for Kickstart School

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

Paul Avontuur is an amazing teacher. I really enjoyed all my classes and I learnt a lot during those 10 weeks.

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.

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.

Het was erg goed en interessant. Ik kan nu veel beter Nederlands begrijpen en spreken. Ik denk ook dat programma is goed ontworpen. Paul, dank u wel voor alles. Ik zou de cursus aanbevelen.

It was interesting course with professional and cheerful teacher. He makes everything simpler and I am motivated to continue to learn dutch.

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!

I enjoyed my Dutch lessons while I was learning. I liked the fact since lesson 1 we were already reading out loud.

Paul is a wonderful teacher - we will miss seeing him twice a week…. The material, the structure and all the wonderful admin support is just excellent and we will be back for further courses. Thanks Kickstart!!

Paul is a fantastic teacher, backed up by wonderful resources and a great organisation

It is easy to communicate with the office, thay are always there in case of a problem with the lessons

I'm a regular customer already)

The course was incredibly interactive and clear, it has a lot of vocabulary and opportunity to practice.

I must say that the course material and lesson plan is all very well compiled. The classes themselves make the process of learning quite fun and the instructors are also very helpful and knowledgeable.

Professional teachers and good study materials.

Nice course with a lot of interactive elements. The extra learning materials on the intranet are also very helpful for exam preparation. The staff are helpful when it comes to course registration and admin matters.

No complaints. Good materials and in class activities.

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.

The classes were interactive, with sufficient feedback and support from the teacher. Good balance of grammar, vocabulary and speaking.

Taking the second class already with kickstart, I'm highly content with the docents and lessons. The docents adapt to the class and are eager to get your Dutch moving to the next level.

All fine, our teacher is really good. one downside homework should be a preparation bfore the lesson. I worked that way.

Great class.

I enjoyed it! Josje was an amazing teacher and made the classes interesting and lively! Even though they were taught online.

Kickstart school is a very well organised language school that could offer me tailor made tuition for advance Dutch at very short notice. The premises and study materials are very appropriate, communication and organisation was seamless. But what I liked best was my language teacher, who was absolutely amazing. She had a lot of experience and patience and a wealth of knowledge, allowing me to improve not only my language skills but also my understanding of the Dutch culture and way of life. Bedankt Jacqueline, bedankt Kickstart School!

We appreciated the setting of the course on a tailored format. The teacher found interesting articles related to our field to personalize the course. We regret spending a lot of time during the course correcting the homework. Sometimes we only corrected exercises and chatted a bit.
