A good group with genuine interest in the learning of the students.
I had the previous course with Paul Avontuur, I really liked that course and have learned a lot. For this lesson it felt a bit less. The lesson was mostly just asking questions towards us students and we answer. I feel it could be more interactive and have an actual conversation going on, instead of constantly feels like an exam. Also, a lot of assignments in the book went over very quickly during the class, I think it would be nice to let us first self study it in advance,
Dear Cassie, Many thanks for providing your insights. We understand that teaching styles can vary, and we truly value your thoughts on how your recent course felt. We recognize that this time the approach may have seemed less interactive to you. That being said, in our effort to offer a range of teaching methods that cater to different learning styles, we also deeply appreciate the dedication and unique approach your current teacher brings to the class. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us make improvements. We also hope to continue supporting you in your learning journey! Warm regards, The Kickstart School Team
The lessons are well structured and with a good tempo. The teachers are always attentive, explain everything properly. The school staff is always very helpful and polite. I have never had a bad experience with Kickstart and will do more courses with them.
This is the first Dutch course I have taken in a while and I enjoyed it! I feel like I learned a lot and improved my conversation skills. The lessons and homework load is well balanced
Professional lecturer, howeve during the less i sometimes feels to strict maybe the class can be more dynamic
It was an amazing experience to learn with Ms. Jacquelin. A good structured lesson plan and detailed handout book. The classes were with good paces and I loved the inverse classroom technique.
Good
I enjoyed the class and the setting . the company has structured this for people just learning dutch and it was exactly what I wanted
I like my experiences with kickstart. They have high quality books and teachers.
Very professional and friendly
This was a great crash course into Dutch.
I feel the progression in the grammar and learn some new vocabulary
Dear Linda, Many thanks for sharing your feedback. We're very pleased to hear you felt progress with grammar and improved your vocabulary along the way. That kind of growth is what our courses are all about. Hope to see you again soon! Warm regards, The Kickstart School Team
I like the lessons and teachers here. Will definitely go to the next level course.
I had a lot of fun learning some dutch here, it gets hard at times, but the fun persist.
All the employees are very kind and helpfully. The material is complete and teacher Cristine is an excellent teacher!
The teacher is good and made an effort to include everyone in the lesson, even everyone had different levels of Dutch.
The course was good I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. But I do wish that the school would prioritize people who are already taking a class for the next level and make sure that there's space for everyone in the next level.
Dear Zoi, Many thanks for your kind words. We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the course and learned a lot. You make a great point about the next level, and that’s exactly why we send early invitations to current students, ensuring there’s space for everyone who wants to continue. We are very pleased that things worked out with your enrollment, and we’re always working to make the process even smoother. Warm regards, The Kickstart School Team
It’s a Great school to learn Dutch. They follow a structure method, which is good, but I think it is t for everyobe
The process of learning is really well organized. There are a lot of different interesting tasks. There is an opportunity to repeat all skills you learn.
Professional language learning institute
The administration in order to get to the homework is very difficult and it does not work many times.
Dear M., Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that the course delivers good results when supported by self-study. Consistent engagement with the homework and preparation outside of class play an important role in achieving meaningful progress. We’re sorry to hear that accessing the homework was difficult at times. We will review our homework plans to make sure the study materials are clear and readily available. Best wishes, The Kickstart School Team
I took the stepping stone1 class. It was very nice because lecture was very easy to understand. Kickstart net also helps me to self-study because it tells me variety of homework.
It is a very well-paced & thorough learning experience
I really enjoyed the classes as they were filled with lots of conversations about different topics. I feel like my shyness to sound silly is not there anymore and I am much more confident to start conversations. I would however make the classes a bit shorter as 2.5 hrs is a bit much on an evening. Paul made the classes fun!
Good language course, but the timing 2.5 hours is too long especially at the evening. Would be better to start at 7pm The courses also focus a lot on grammar but would prefer other stuff
Dear Lalita, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased to hear you had a good overall experience with the course. We plan our course schedules to accommodate a range of needs, trying to meet diverse schedules and lifestyles. We understand that the 2.5-hour evening sessions can feel long, we also realize that timing preferences can vary widely. Some people prefer longer, uninterrupted sessions, while others prefer shorter sessions, especially in the evening. Regarding the course content, we pay attention to grammar because it forms the foundation of any language. A solid understanding of grammar helps students build the structure needed to communicate clearly and confidently. That said, all our general courses incorporate a variety of activities beyond grammar practice, such as speaking, listening, and vocabulary-building exercises. We’re always looking to strike the right balance and will continue refining our approach. Thanks again and we hope to welcome you back for another course soon! Best regards, The Kickstart School Team
