Reviews for Kickstart School

Good teaching.. i learned a lot..

While I loved the class and found it useful, I felt like the homework was not distributed equally enough. Sometimes it was next to nothing, while other times the amount of new vocabulary and grammar that was to be memorized in one go was above what is to be expected. The instruction was great, the teacher managed to create a very pleasant atmosphere in the class where I was always excited to come.

It was not what I expected

The teacher didn't had too much patience, and it makes the atmosphere not so good sometimes, if we are here is to learn and as the teacher makes some students feel bad in front of others it makes that we don't have then willing to continue learning as the way of teaching makes to be disappointment instead of encourage

After doing the Advanced course dutch, I have some tips and tops to share: TIPS - Teacher spends too much time talking. I feel he does not give space to students to talk enough. - Teacher does not put pressure to do the homework. It is appreciated at the tame, since we are all adults and it is our responsibility. But I feel one of the reasons we follow a course is because we may need some push! TOPS - Good organization, every day you know what you are expected to do for homework and in class - Goo energy and intentions of the teacher - Good intranet - Good level

I really enjoyed my time at Kickstart

Ik vond het erg good

As a native German speaker it was not so hard for me to get used to Dutch language because of that and because other participants were a bit slower this course was sometimes to easy for me. I would love to have more tests and a kind of grade.

Paul has a very nice manner of teaching. The class is not intimidating and there are many opportunities to practice speaking Dutch with your fellow students. By the end of the session, I felt like my comprehension has greatly improved and I look forward to continuing with my studies.

Paul is a fantastic teacher. I enjoyed studying Dutch with him.

Goede stemming, goed material, vriendelijke contact

The class was a good overview, but I would need additional classes to actually understand the language. The book randomly stopped explaining things in English, which was not very helpful. Some of the conjucations didn't have rules either, which I still find confusing. My instructor was very kind, and the class would probably have been more effective if it was more than just once a week. I think I almost know the basics, but would definitely need more practice.

Everyone was very helpful and pleasant to talk with. It was a great course to help with basic, day to day Dutch. I also enjoyed meeting many new au pairs! :)

It has been a good experience, good learning environment.

Everything was organized. The teacher was really great and very helpful. The speed of the course was just the necessary; not too slow and not too fast with some useful review sessions.

First I was in the good level I think but it evolves really fast (as there are only 12 courses of course) and after I was a little bit lost and became stressed. But all the team, specially Christine, was really understanding and reacted really kindly with proposing to put me in a lower level. And after I felt so much better, so thank a lot to all the team.

I had already some basis and I am very happy that I have improve my language. I will for sure continue the cursus.

My teacher Odette was very patient and could always answer by questions. The students was very nice and I liked each class.

I improved my Dutch in a consistent way. Teachers are well prepared and the website is a nice plus for assuring you are learning effectively.

It was just the right combination of speaking and reading basic Dutch to get started.

Very enjoyable lessons giving basic Dutch. I would recommend some vocab testing as otherwise we students get lazy!!

Kickstart makes registration very easy and the staff are very responsive to questions.

Easy registration comfortable and convenient facilities

De cursus is goes, de snelheid is fijne, carola is een geweldig leerar. Ik denk dat presentaties niet goed manieren voor luisteer en spreek oeffenings zijn. Iederen onthoudt hun tekst en dan dit is niet een spreek oeffening. En wij luisteren een Nederlandse spreek die niet goed is. Er moet zijn meer gericht op luisteren en spreekvaardigheiden.

Excellent conversation opportunities with a great teacher
