Reviews for Kickstart School

Very enjoyable lessons

I was looking for an intensive course that would prove both challenging and entertaining, this course provided both and has given me an excellent basis upon which I can further my education in the Dutch language. Maarten was excellent in his teaching, being both clear and patient with any questions from the group. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kickstart to others.

It is good learning class....understandable....nice.....

Teacher was great and he made learning a new language a fun experience.

Maarten was a fun, engaging teacher.

He is goed..

Very satisfied

Teacher is fantastic, explains well, enthusiastic, well organized.

Some grammar helps me a lot. it was a good experience.

It was nice, I felt the courses were a bit short, and moving from places to places is not the most ideal to learn smoothly, but the teacher is great, I improved a lot with her, she gave me the keys to get better, and the administrators are always here to help you. Plus, there's cookies :)

aleemaal goed en geregeld

In heb viel geleerd :)

Ik vond deze curses heel goed! En mijn docent Kathleen was fantastische!

I enjoyed every class! We had a small group we talked a lot and practiced a lot. I really feel the progress!

Great course! I liked everything about it.

Thoroughly enjoyed my lessons. Group was fun and Maarten was a great teacher. Classroom always tidy and clean and bright. Staff informative and friendly. Course materials and website excellent. Looking forward to the next level.

Excellent. Very clear and precise teaching. Variety of teaching styles and materials were used. Excellent pace and timing to the lessons. We had fun.

Very good overall experience, a little more oral comprehension would have made it a perfect experience, but much ground was already covered. I would say the two weeks school holidays tend to break the momentum.

Really good classes and a good teacher!

Starterpack was held at a great pace. Handouts / material etc contributed to a great integrated learning. Thanks Maarten

It was a really good and helpful class. Meneer Maarten was really good and the class was fun. I learned a lot.

It was a very nice group and interactive class.

Enjoyed my lessons with Odette. We worked hard to prepare me for the next level.

Course was very good but at times it feels like there should be a course a level below the starter pack. It would help to understand some of the more basics such as alphabets and pronunciations prior to diving into grammar. Also, the text book is written with Dutch a lot of time is spent on translating rather than understanding. My instructor Odette was excellent and tentative to ensure I understood the material. Even when I was away from class Odette made the effort to email me content to make sure I don’t fall behind.

-> After the intake conversation the teacher said I should start with SSII. I insisted to start in a higher level and we agreed on SSIII. It turns out that my level was acctually SSIV. --> I really liked the round table with cookies and tee. --> I left Kickstart because the following course is on a different day of the week than the previous one. --> Henny did a great job. --> The online exercises must be improved... (spelling errors, dots and comma issues). Perhaps if the correction could be shown after each exercise (an not after a list of 10) it would be easier to track the spelling problems.
