Reviews for Kickstart School

SSIII was my second course with Kickstart and I am continuing to SSIV which shows my satisfaction with the course, the way of teaching and the teacher.

Even though the course was online, I could learn a lot and enjoy the lessons!

Very positive too. I did thenStarterpack dutch for beginners semi intensive eveninwas and was one of the unfortunate people who got affected by COVID19 and had to stop classes for a few weeks. Kick start did offer me classes with another batch which I found to be overwhelming from a customer perspective Good value for what you pay and highly recommended

very good

Very good.

In line with my expectations.

It is a very focused and interesting course. During the lessons, we got clear explanation from the teacher and we had enough exercises.

It has been a simple, straight forward, functional and without issues.

I liked the experience

Very helpful course for beginners! Happy with the course.

Odette was always extremely well prepared for all classes. She took the time to explain more difficult grammatical questions in English as requested by everyone in my student group. Even over Zoom, she was able to pivot her teaching strategies to ensure that we all understood and participated in the exercises. There was a lot of emphasis on speaking. She also took the time to practice listening exercises with us. The full course overview was very useful as well as the Kickstart materials.

Ik heb mij aangemeld voor kickstart omdat ik voor mijn studie een itp test moet afleggen. Sachi heeft er alles aan gedaan om mij hier ready voor te maken. De lessen waren effectief en ik heb heel erg veel geleerd.

I felt very prepared and hopeful about the NT2 exam !

I’ve had a great experience with kickstart, i really recommend kickstart and i’ve learn a lot.

I took summer classes on Zoom. I don't like video lesson but a teacher was great and she was used to hundle our class.

I have felt very comfortable with Kickstart, this is my second course here. I really recommend this school.

Really fast and personal service. I was too late to join one of the group courses so they offered a private course. This was super. The lessons were really great and useful.

Very helpful staff and overall great experience!

A colleague and myself followed a 10 hr Business Dutch writing course. We covered a lot of ground in the short time and there was a good mix of theory, practice and participation. Evelien, our teacher, created a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The course also worked extremely well on Zoom.

This Stepping Stone V course was my 6th course within a year at Kickstart School. I had a fantastic experience, as always, and will definately be returning for another course. I feel like I learnt so many new things in this course and the hours went by so quickly! The teacher always worked hard to ensure that every student recieved equal amounts of individual attention, and to ensure that every lesson was interesting for all of us. Highly recommended!

It has been a challenging experience. I have learnt a lot. Our teacher has been very patient. She makes sure that all the students get the same amount of individual attention. The learning platform is a great learning tool. The handout Kickstart provided us with, gave a lot of cultural insights into the current China. We had a lesson plan that the teacher followed but there was also room for some spontaneity. Although Chinese is quite a tough language to learn, all my class mates including me are still keen to carry on. We have been in class for 3 terms and we are still motivated. A job well done! Xiexie

I attended two courses of Chinese at the Kickstartschool since January 2020 (with the corona they swifted fluently to remote lessons, my compliments!) and I can really say I'm able to talk and understand some Chinese. Loved the classes; not too quick or slow and we discussed interesting subjects. Higly recommandable!

At the beginning, I felt that I might not be able to enjoy the class. However, I gradually realized that I was really enjoying. Our teacher, Maarten, was very enthusiastic and kind. He provided us with various information about Dutch language (e.g., linguistic backgrounds, the way to learn it). I hope to receive his lessons in the other class again.

The intensive Stepping Stone I has helped to understand Dutch better. Not only the extensive grammar and vocabulary, but also the culture itself. The class was proportional to the material and the speaking's turn. Additionally, the materials were also really nice as extra practices that are also posted on their internal online learning platform.

Just finished an intense 6 days doing Stepping Stone 1. I came in with a bit of Dutch, but poor grammar knowledge and this really helped be get a good grasp on some of the basics and will be a great help going forward. Our teacher, Maarten, was full of knowledge and very patient. He always had time to answer any questions and he created an environment in which nobody was afraid to ask. The course had a great mix of every aspect of learning a language and even in the virtual classroom I didn't feel like anything was missing - perhaps only a little of the social aspect and pre-and post-class chatting!
