Reviews for Kickstart School

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.

Kickstart has very good courses and materials to learn Dutch. In particular I want to thank Letty, our teacher, for an excellent course.

This A2+ course it was very informative and useful.I t helps a lot of to improve Netherlands language knowledge. This course broadened my knowledge of the Dutch language. I recommend this course to all.

I really enjoyed Letty teaching this course. I can see that she is very experienced at teaching the lower levels. Although I found the exercises quite challenging, I found her to be very patient when I tried to form my own sentences. I also found the environment to be a safe and accepting place in practicing my Dutch.

The environment is top! well equipped and our teacher extremely attentive to our needs. The rhythm was well chosen: even though the classroom level was all not the same our teacher made sure everyone was included be it in oral or writing. I never taught I could read a book and I find myself by end of course having read a small thriller in Dutch .

The summer intensive course was very useful. It helped me a lot. The classes were not too difficult but still very productive. My Dutch became way better.

Very friendly , easy going and amazing course

The kick start school was alway avaible when needed.

Everybody was very kind, helpful and accommodating. After the lesson I felt more confident in my Dutch and found my teacher very supportive. Overall, a very good experience.

Everything from the side of the administration was seamless. I enjoyed the lessons. The teacher made it challenging and the challenge was at the right level.

Ik heb B1 & B2 bij kickstart school gedaan. Mijn docent was mevrouw Letty. Zij is heel aardig en moedigt ons enorm aan. Ik leer veel grammatica & spreek ook heel veel. We hebben tien klassen en ik dank dat het is een beetje kort vergelijken met de enorm studiemateriaal. Het zou een goed idee om kleine toets in de klas regelen.

It was like in old good times. I really miss this kind of education. I am glad that I was in this course. I have learned a lot. My basic knowledge of Dutch is now sorted in my brain.

Really just an exceptionally well organized school and course. Wonderful admin support and our instructor Maarten was just amazing.

The starterpack course was a great introduction to the Dutch language. We covered a lot of material and there were plenty of opportunities to ask questions. The teacher, Maarten, was extremely knowledgeable, not just about Dutch but also other languages which allowed him to make parallels to other languages which was very helpful. He was also able to share many interesting anecdotes which brought the lessons to life. My only reservation is that the class size of eight is quite large and meant that it was somewhat tricky to cater to the various abilities in the group. Nevertheless, I would recommend kickstart and will attend their other classes in future. Thank you, Maarten!

I enjoyed learning Dutch in the starter pack and getting to know grammatical rules. However I think there should have been more vocab in the start. I didn’t learn a ton of new words and especially verbs so it’s still hard for me to translate a sentence without context. Also coutinho was not great either. But other than that it was perfect. The break was really nice and I feel I have a better grasp on the language. Also classmates as well as mr smit were very kind and helpful

Excellent opportunity for starting learning dutch. Great aproch, frendly atmosphere. I am fully satisfied and I will continue with the next course.

Well organised and super helpful staff, nothing was a problem. The course was clear and can see that it has been perfected over time to really deliver results! Thanks Kickstart, we’re already signed up for the next course! :)

It was intense and not overwhelming at the same time. It is amazing to see how much one can learn without getting mentally exhausted. Maartin is a great teacher.

Small groups and a cozy little environment

Good

I am in the class advanced dutch block c with Lucas. He can be more well prepared for the classes and I think the course doesn't worth the value. With other teachers, the classes are always more organized and less impromptu.

I met very good teacher and very good students. My English has improved little by little. thank you very much.
