Reviews for Kickstart School

Excellent time with Evelien. She is very friendly and also a vice teacher. She makes difficult things easier to understand. We have an amazing group. Always motivated to do more and more. I will miss Evelien and our team. Succes.

Online facilitation can be done in a more dynamic way and using the resources from Zoom It is a pity that the resources of the web kickstart are going to be available for one more week after completing the course Could be useful to have informal chat groups to talk (virtually) with other students

Unfortunately the course switched to remote, but still the lessons were well organised and I improved my Dutch grammar. The topics were interesting and the teacher told us lots of things over the Dutch culture. Although online, it was fun!

The course is fun! The teacher helps in all the aspects; reading, speaking, listening and writing. The experience during the course is not boring at all, the teacher provide different things to work on together. I learned also dutch culture during the course. I will defenetily reccommend to my friends or my fellow foreigners if they want to learn dutch better!

It was ok, but the hybrid course doesn't work well. Other courses have been better than this.

I liked the course. There was a lot to do, a lot of different activities. I liked that we had both a book, a hand out. That there was also the kickstartnet and exercises online from the book. I think I learnt a lot. I would like to continue with the next level, I hope everything works and I can do it.

The distance learning experience was good! We managed to get a lot done with the white board, breakout rooms, and chat. Sanne was a good teacher, very relaxed and positive! Her attitude made it a no-anxiety learning experience. I'm registered for the next level!

I had some "fear" at first, because I litteraly didn't speak a word of Dutch and I thought it would be hard to follow the course. But the teachers cleaned all this fear day one, and keep motivating us. Now at the end, I can really see the progress I made. Of course I am very far from fluent, but at least I feel confortable with the topics we already learned. Furthermore, I really enjoyed these 2 weekly hours, specialy in these corona situation, where it is not easy to share some time speaking with others. Can't wait to learn more in January 2021 !

So happy to have Sanne as my teacher she is kind, detailed and understanding with a great sense of humor.

Learning was quite easy and fun, especially with Joke's help. The study materials were great, and were completely utilized on the whole duration of the sessions.

The company is very professional!! Sometimes I think the language courses in this country are really expensive, but the quality in this academy is really good

Have to be able to meet other au pairs during the first day. And I can tell that Joke is a very nice teacher. She's very patient to us and she explains that course very well. Though we don't do our class in your place we learned a lot and I hope we will apply this in the future. ALSO, it's very good that you provided us book and some notes that's a plus for me. I hope you continue learning people to teach dutch and other languages you offer.

I was really nice to learn Dutch with Joke, even if sometimes I cannot understand everything. The zoom classes were nice. I think I'm now able to understand some basic words from my kids or host parents, or even in the supermarket.

I took a basic dutch course in Kickstart School. I had a really good experience, the course is well structured and the teacher (Miss Joke Fransen) made the lessons easy to follow and not boring. The only remark i have is the focus on some topics that I personally found not useful. It's important to know the vocabulary but i don't have to know the name of every type of pan.

The netherlands is my favorite place in the world, amazing country. Great people and environment.

I had a Dutch course for au pairs, that gave me general understanding of the language. Which is a good start and basis if I decide to continue with Dutch language in the future.

Up until now, I was pleased with the Dutch courses I took. This time, however, the teacher, although nice, did not teach in a way that was dynamic enough for me. The pace was rather slow, with a lot of silent breaks, and the conversation did not really flow. That made it difficult to stay engaged and motivated until the end of the course, and I didn't learn as much as I wanted to.

Although the course was late in the evening I really enjoy having it with Paul. I really like the remote option of the course and I hope in the future, after the crisis, there will be still the possibility to have it online. Despite I should have studied more, I feel more confident in Dutch and I started understanding when they speak to me. For sure I will recommend it, looking forward to see if there will any new online classes!

Every lesson was super interesting and helped me a lot with learning Dutch.

It was a good expirince and i will follow for sure next courses .

I really enjoyed my lessons. They were interactive, easy to understand and fun. Any questions asked were always answered or explained well.

The school is well organized and the teacher is very helpful. They have extra materials added to the book, that is also an extra help.

Couldnt asked for a better teacher, Maarten was very patient and understanding.

Heel goed! Learned very easy, it was a great experience, 10/10 would recommend

the teacher was really nice, but unfortunately, the level of the group, too low.
