Reviews for Kickstart School

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.

Teacher Debbie was great! She explains things where I can easily understand them.

We did a private course to refresh our Dutch after one year break. Everything was great and we made huge progress. Once again, I would like to thank our teacher Carine for really dynamic and interesting lessons and her patience.

Kickstart is methodically bringing you forward to learn the language in the best possible way. My teacher, Mrs. Letty Akkerman, was exceptional, very professional, and a positive personality who helps you to unlock your potential. The variety of the material available and the tailor-made lessons, helped me incredibly to start speaking confidently in Dutch. Jullie maken het verschil. Bedankt!

Het was goed les. The lessson was really well prepared and teacher has good skill at explaining gramma and vocabulary. The course was a little difficult to me but it is my problem and i just want to review what i learnd from this course and then i want to take a course in kickstart schoo again. Thank you

The teacher is very knowledgeable and helpful. She can explain everything very clearly. The lesson has a clear structure. The course has met my expectations. I have learned a lot.

The experience with class is very good. I can speak and practice grammar. But the instruction to get password and link to access class is not too clear

Great teacher and satisfied overall but too much homework to be effective. I cannot dedicate many study hours since I have a demanding full time job. I suggest that you change the way the hw is presented and put all the most important things together at the top.

I like the classroom materials a lot. They are very useful and detailed. The classroom atmosphere is also nice. However, I would expect the teacher to be slow down a bit and give more information about the word pronunciation and grammar. In general, I like the lessons very much and i think i learned a lot already! I would probably sign up for the following lessons and recommend it to my fellow friends too!

I attended a start-up Dutch class, in the 2023 Summer term. İt was a Semi-intensive course with rich materials such as the Nederlands GANG book, handouts, Coutinho.nl Portal...etc. for these materials you have a guide in the slides otherwise you can lose yourself between materials. The other important thing is you have homework but they are includes repeating the previous lesson and preparing the future lesson. so if you do homework it is not possible to attend an unclear lesson. One thing is you should be careful, you separate your time out of lessons because it is semi-intensive.

I chose to take Dutch courses and I had a very pleasant time. I learned so much that I can now understand when people speak Dutch next to me.

In general the experience is good. But it's a bit too intensive for me. There is no enough time to revise what I've learned. I will consider signing up for the course that is once a week.

The content of the kickstart website was organised and helpful also the teacher was very professional and helpful Great experience

I attended the remote course on Stepping Stone II. I was very satisfied with the overall organization. Furthermore, the course material was diverse and covered all language skills. The teacher was very friendly and the lessons were organized in a way that made the whole experience very interesting to attend. I'm planning to register to a more advance course the following academic year.

The kickstart course has a nice combination of reading comprehension, writing and Spoken Dutch. Josje was very patient and engaging.

Every contract has been seamless, easy, and smooth. The courses feel a bit long sometimes, but they are working as I’m learning more Dutch than I realized, haha. A nice school and would recommend!

I like the approach to prepare for the class first and then be able to ask questions during the class.
