Reviews voor Kickstart School

Small group lessons which were vital for interaction, felt like we covered quite a lot of material in a short time

Above average.

Loved the course and the teacher. The pace was really good for me - semi-intensive (2x per week) - so I really had to learn in order to keep up. The colleagues were great too, a nice bunch. The exercises, texts and homework were really good and I learned a lot! Course was good organised and the extra materials were very helpful.

Well understood

Everyone at the kickstart school is a pleasure to work with!

Like the pace and the content…it keeps you on your toes, Christine is patient and thorough. Big fan of the admin team too, prompt response and very helpful.

All was good! Links in the homework plan needs to be fixed however ;)

Great

We were lucky to have Dorine as a teacher. She helped us a lot with learning. Also, she made the most of Nederland in gang program. I personally think that this book provides very limited ability to learn and not very engaging. However, Dorine managed to overcome the limitations of the program and give so much more. Also I want to give a credit to the school. It was easy and nice experience. Thank you.

Very satisfied with the method and the way everything related to the course was organised. Will definitely continue learning Dutch with help by Kickstart.

Our son followed first an English summer course and continued then online once per week online. His language skills improved; the teacher was experienced, helpful, and flexible about alternative dates if necessary. Very recommendable.

Overall I have to say that it has been a positive experience. Sometimes I personally struggled to understand the grammar, and the way has been explained did not really helped. However, thanks to Jeannine I felt engaged and motivated to learn

Paul Avontuur is an amazing teacher. I really enjoyed all my classes and I learnt a lot during those 10 weeks.

Prior to starting this course I had struggled with some self study materials particularly with the listening and speaking side of things. I found this course and the focus on listening and speaking to be incredibly helpful in gaining confidence to speak it and also by offering a safe environment to practice with the class and teacher. Carine was the absolute highlight of the course, she did such a great job of encouraging us, teaching, supporting and correcting mistakes in a non discouraging way. Even after the first few lessons I felt comfortable practicing Dutch out and about and am looking forward to starting the next course.

I found the school's materials to be excellent addition to the main book, and the explanations given by the teacher were really helpful. However, the fast pace of the course may not be suitable for everyone, as it can be quite challenging to keep up with. School's administration was also very helpful with all my questions.

Het was erg goed en interessant. Ik kan nu veel beter Nederlands begrijpen en spreken. Ik denk ook dat programma is goed ontworpen. Paul, dank u wel voor alles. Ik zou de cursus aanbevelen.

It was interesting course with professional and cheerful teacher. He makes everything simpler and I am motivated to continue to learn dutch.

We had a very nice Dutch instructor, Carine Smits. She did a great job explaining the concepts and keeping the course engaging. I learned so much more than I had in the past trying to self study. Bedankt voor de lessen!

I enjoyed my Dutch lessons while I was learning. I liked the fact since lesson 1 we were already reading out loud.

Paul is a wonderful teacher - we will miss seeing him twice a week…. The material, the structure and all the wonderful admin support is just excellent and we will be back for further courses. Thanks Kickstart!!

Paul is a fantastic teacher, backed up by wonderful resources and a great organisation

It is easy to communicate with the office, thay are always there in case of a problem with the lessons

I'm a regular customer already)

The course was incredibly interactive and clear, it has a lot of vocabulary and opportunity to practice.

I must say that the course material and lesson plan is all very well compiled. The classes themselves make the process of learning quite fun and the instructors are also very helpful and knowledgeable.
