Reviews for Kickstart School

The teacher Paul always created a nice atmosphere and teached us also important things about the dutch culture. He took care of everyone's needs (for learning the language ).

Top docent.

The course went very well with lots of fun but also with a great learning effect. Plus points: good location in the Hague, small groups

Very kind approach, very good classroom environment

Very good preparation. Train as you fight!

I love my Dutch teacher who has a lot of experienced Dutch language. I hope to learn next her course.

It was a great experience in the school as it was very well organized and I was surprised as after 6 days course I could communicate in dutch somehow and this denotes that the teacher is really highly qualified and the school is very well organized

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Teaching style and methods were effective and enjoyable at the same time. Kathleen is a great teacher. It was a great experience overall and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning Dutch. I will definitely continue learning Dutch with Kickstart.

Great experience to learn the basic of Dutch

It was a very well balanced course combining enough writing, speaking, reading and reading. It is a very self paced course and people need to study a lot, but the materials in the book and handout, plus the online platforms from kickstart and coutinho are very useful. It has been a great experience and I can feel how much progress I made. I will take the next level intensive courses too!

A really professional environment but also a fun way to learn Dutch. Kathleen is the best teacher!

The class is really good i suggest it to everyone!

I found the course really useful. I gained a lot of confidence in both my understanding of Dutch and in my speaking skills. I think the classroom environment was friendly and comfortable and I felt that it was okay to try even if I made mistakes. The course materials were fine, but I was not a big fan of the format of the exercises on Kickstart.net because if you left the page, all of your answers would be deleted. I think it would be more useful if you can save a copy so you can look back and study them later. The hint feature is also not so handy because if only gives you letter by letter hints which is often not that helpful.

Overall, good experience , although the classroom markers for board writing really should be renewed and full of ink when a course starts, we really struggle with reading what the teacher has written on the board. The handouts are good, the teacher works very hard.

I have made significant progress during this course. The atmosphere is very warm and encouraging.

I found the course fun, intensive and useful

Het was heel erg leuk!

Learning a language is difficult but these courses have made it easy. I definitely recommend them.

Paul is een echt super docent. He is very thorough and corrects me constructively when I make mistakes. He constantly assures mistakes are not a problem and we must never hesitate to ask questions. He is extremely helpful and kind, and relates all course material to everyday application. His explanations are very clear, he makes challenging grammar exercises fun and thoughtful. He creates a fantastic balance between working hard, smart and enjoying the learning process. I am extremely happy that he was my teacher as I would not have made this much progress if he was not my teacher. As for the materials, they are very extensive and intensive. Although this is an intensive course, there is also great depth to the material. Thank you kickstartschool, and heel bedankt Paul.

Wij hebben een fantastische week gehad! Hier met leraar Paul hebben we heel veel geleert en het nooit saai was! Gelijktijdig intensief en gezellig!

Good course. I found it challenging but feel my Dutch has definitely improved. Paul is a good teacher. Good humoured atmosphere in classroom
