Reviews for Kickstart School

I had a really good experience with my classmates and teacher. I learned lot and am looking forward to the next course.

Harriet was a great teacher. I absolutely loved her teaching strategy and the pace. It was a great experience, and I learned a lot, so I will continue in the near future with the next level. Thank you! Kind regards, Marzieh

I really enjoyed the course! The lessons were engaging and Jeannine was a great teacher. The group atmosphere was always very pleasant and I'm already looking forward to the next level.

What can I say, amazing experience overall! Great support throughout the whole course, from registration 'til the last lesson. Teachers where always eager to slow down, repeat and help with whatever we needed. Chill enough to not feel overwhelmed but also challenging enough to see some progresses by the end of the course and feel a bit more confident. I think that also the limited number of students per class makes the courses at Kickstart easier to follow. 100% recommended.

I absolutely love studying here! Jeannine is an amazing teacher, she has a way of teaching that makes everything easy to understand without putting any pressure on the students. I always look forward to her classes because the environment is so supportive and welcoming. I’ve had such a great experience that I’m definitely going to continue with the next levels here!

A nice Community of Students eger to learn as well as a incredably patient teacher. Overall a uplifting experience

I'm so happy with Kickstart school, as the teaching and planning is very nice. Also arranging the next course for this class was very convenient.

Learned a lot, solidified my foundations and made me want to take the next class. Glad I took the course again.

Very nice place. Great teachers. Lots of material and friendly atmosphere.

Instructors are great and the structure works well!

The lessons are very good. Carmen's teaching is very accurate and well-oriented. Stepping Stone I means immersion in the language, and you need to be focused to reach your goals. The dynamic of the lessons is helpful, and the atmosphere is nice. I strongly suggest this course.

If I get another chance, I would love to go with same teacher. Very well prepared, we covered a lot within limited time with balance of exercises, tests, speaking. 10/10 for the format.

I feel it is a nice online course to improve Dutch.

Ik heb veel grammaticale vaardigheden geleerd en ook geoefend met het spreken van Nederlands in de klas door middel van presentaties en het bespreken van het nieuws van de week. Docent Josje heeft veel geduld en legt alles duidelijk en in detail uit. Ik zou deze cursus aanbevelen.

I was really pleased with the course program. The grammar explanation was clear and constructive. The only trouble for me was not enough time for the housework sometimes, but that is my problem to manage.

I had a great time/experience with the company. Very professional, very helpful, very friendly. I did a lot of progress. I only think that 2,5 hours of class are quite exhausting, I prefer to have 2 hours of teaching.

The course was really interesting and I enjoyed every lesson (and especially enjoyed writing the homework assignments and preparing a presentation). Some of the lessons felt slightly poorly paced - if a presentation was a bit longer than expected, we ended up not having much time for the grammar/vocabulary exercises.

This level was harder than the others so far but has also inspired me to work more on my Dutch at home. Now that I’ve finished SSIV, I find I can listen to podcasts, watch television and read in Dutch without the same need for things in makkelijke taal. I’m looking forward to continuing my language training so I feel better speaking. I really enjoyed the teaching once again and with a little more work at home and in the community, I look forward to more fluency and accuracy in speaking.

Well organised and good course. I would’ve liked a bit more practice speaking but I don’t know whether that would be feasible with the number of students.

Lessons were nice and atmosphere was nice. It was nice to talk mostly in dutch. I found it a little strange that there was less homework than the previous stepping stone courses i took but I didn't mind that that much.

Great detailed explanations and with each course, it builds on your foundation. Good teachers and nice friends.

Thank you!

After going nowhere for years of using Duolingo to learn Dutch, the Stepping Stone course really boosted my confidence while speaking Dutch. The lessons were fun and the teacher kept me engaged in learning this hard language.

I would prefer if we are forced to use dutch more often. It's easy to fall back to english.

I’ve come across the correct points for the level I applied for. The teacher was always available and open to questions and suggestions.
