Reviews for Kickstart School

This is my second course with kickstart and I hope to have a third in the future, I have consistently found the administration helpful and professional and the teachers well informed. I enjoyed the range of activities and excellent response to feedback.

I liked we were only 6 I think it went well on Zoom I really appreciate Odette's work, her energetic and positive personality and her being so supportive to learn, it was a great experience The only thing I did not like was the kickstart.net structure - it is really difficult to navigate, not very user friendly (I preferred the coutinho website for practising)

For me it is an Excellent Experience thanks to a Good Teacher, Zoom classes are very efficient. i am very satisfied.

Despite the new circumstances the Zoom classes were perfect and it suited my schedule and it was easier to manage. The teacher was excellent (Kathleen) and my Dutch improved tremendously. Also the possibility to dive in to Dutch modern literature and culture was excellent. I can only recommend it.

It was my first course at Kickstart, but not last one. I enjoyed our everyweek lesson. The teacher was well prepared and the organization was great. If you are motivated and do your homework you can definitely learn a lot (as I did).

Good

Ik had een hele goede docent wie heel geïnteresseerd was om ons Nederlands te leren. I hoop om de volgende cursus te doen in september want Ik vind het leuker om in de class te zitten.

I have taken two courses at Kickstart, and really enjoyed the experience both times. Our teacher did a fantastic job teaching across different language abilities, and encouraging our language usage while still politely correcting our mistakes. Particularly given the fact that we had to adjust to online Zoom classes part way through, I think Kickstart did a great job maintaining our momentum. Highly recommended!

Have really enjoyed the process and teaching. With thorough explanation of the rules and grammar my understanding and confidence has improved significantly. Kathleen's understanding of linguistics and language has helped explain the dutch grammar rules that I previously had significant trouble with. I am grateful for her input into my learning.

I am very satisfied with the attention, the service and the excellent professors. The experience with zoom has been challenge for eveyone, but despite that we manage to keep the motivation. Overall, the experience has been ver positive and I think I had improved a lot since my first course at the beginning of the year. I will continue in September.

Because of an outbreak of corona virus, our offline course continued via zoom. Kathleen did her best to explain to the group complex rules of Dutch grammar and to make her lessons engaging and interesting for everyone. I would definitely recommend!

I did three dutch courses in Kickstart. I found the course materials and teachers very good

Het is erg leuk om de Nederlandse taal weer te leren! We hebben tijdens de les veel gesproken. De les helpt me enorm wanneer onze leraar zo snel mogelijk corrigeert als ik/we de kennis van de grammatica fout gebruikt heb/hebben. Maar ik verwacht ook dat de uitsprak (de intonatie/accent...) wordt gecorrigeerd om beter Nederlands te spreken.

I really enjoyed the course I took. I found it really rich and complete. The teacher really takes the time to go trough grammar rules and in addition give us opportunity to practice speaking, pronunciation, listening and writing skills.

The course work was easy to understand and follow and I enjoyed the fact that there were additional excercises to do through Coutinho. I'll definitely be registering for a refresher in grammar, but only later this year or early next year. In terms of our teacher Antonette, she was wonderful to work with and always offered support and assistance. You were never made to feel silly if you got something wrong or didn't understand something and this is I think especially important when learning a new language. She has an obvious love for the language and grammar and this comes through in the way she teaches the class.

I am happy with the course, the way it is structured and with the additional materials. There is a lot of speaking in the class and I am satisfied with the teaching.

Even though all of the classes had to be online, the Dutch courses were very interactive and professional. I really enjoyed the Stepping Stone 4 Course as we get a chance to talk more in class and learn more grammar and vocabulary. I also really liked the books we got to read in class and the texts that were selected as part of the course as I got to learn more about Dutch culture too.

Always enjoyable and a lot of conversation, excellent to practice your ducth in a safe environment.

Easy to sign up because of helpful & friendly staff. I completed the course for the Inburgering Exams and feel confident that i will pass the exams because of this course. Very insightful and useful for living in the Netherlands. Heel erg bedankt, Margreet. :)

The curse was good thank you.

It is the second course I take with this company. I believe the courses offered are totally worth it. Additionally the new modality of courses online is very nice since it allows for more efficient lessons without commuting. I would really like to still have the option in the future to have online courses.

I liked the course very much, even on zoom.

Very hospitable and easy to work with

De cursus had een enorme impact op mijn begrip van de Nederlandse taal. Nu ben ik meer zelfvertrouwen om met andere mensen te praten.

ik heb een geweldig ervaring. de docent is heel aardig and ik begrijp alles wat ze heeft me verteld. beste methode van leerling.
