Reviews voor Kickstart School

I had a very pleasant experience at Kickstart. The only thing that can be improved is the amount of time spent on the homework. It's almost never checked during the lesson, which is demotivating sometimes. But all of the people I have met at kickstart were very professional and it was a joy to attend the class by Joke.

Very well prepared teacher, interactive classes and challenging material. Overall I am happy with the course, although the homework was a bit too much. I often did not have enough time to review the material and practice enough.

The program design is very intuitive. The docent makes the lessons very enjoyable.

I had the pleasure to follow Joke Bouwmeester's classes and feel much more comfortable in speaking Dutch now. Thank you!

Sandra did a great job at animating the lessons and keeping them interactive and interesting despite the strange Corona-circumstances and not being able to meet in 3D which I can imagine presents challenges to teachers.

I learnt a lot from the Dutch course including grammar, speaking, listening and writing. The teacher, Maarten Smit was very knowledgeable, patient and had a good pace to the lesson. His reviews especially of the grammar or topics covered was invaluable.

It was great ive learnt alot not only learnt how to speak Dutch or say certain phrases but I've also learnt alot about the Dutch culture what an excellent teacher we have had

overall good expirience, great teacher, I must praise all her efforts and approach. especially considering the Covid situation and online learning.

the teacher is very friendly, the classes are always on time and easy to understand

Enjoyed the course although the fast pace and online setting made it challenging at times. Great teacher who clearly explained the grammar rules and the history behind them. Feel more confident to try out my Dutch in the shops and in restaurants.

This course was a beginner level, but the participants had mixed skill levels. Our professor adapted it and catered to everyone's learning needs. In addition to learning the language, we were given insight into the culture and history of the Dutch as well.

Very good experience

Our tutor Josien was really friendly and encouraging and all course materials were really well prepared. Strongly recommend to learn Dutch in Kickstart.

The teacher has been very kind and knowledgeable. She understands the process of teaching a language to newcomers, I think.

Communication in dutch helps adapting into the dutch life. Some exercise can be done as homework. Overall, it is a good start.

Very nice class with a very kind and patient teacher that was always well prepared with a predetermined program. Some technical hiccups with the remote sessions.

I really liked Kickstart school, modern infrastructure in a nice historical building, nice handout materials and helpful people. I will be continuing with my courses there.

I have taken Stepping Stone I at Kickstart School, and I recommend this course if you know some little Dutch and want to go further.

Very satisfied from the school. highly recommend it!!!

The team is very responsive and helpful. The teacher has good teaching skills. The materials/classes are structured/in a good order.

Very friendly teacher and group. I enjoyed the lessons

Kathleen is an amazing teacher. She gives a lot of real life examples which we can use in our daily life and i am now being able to communicate more comfortably in dutch with lots of my colleagues and friends.

So far I have really enjoy the classes, Along the semi intensive course I have been able to understand more Dutch and now I communicate enough when needed

Very understanding teacher. Good timing for course.

I was looking for a Dutch course for beginners that I could attend online because I live in Italy. I don't have any practical reasons to study Dutch, I do it for fun and because I love to learn new languages and also because I'm a children's writer and I heard that Dutch children's literature is compelling and challenging if compared to other markets in Europe, so I'd like to be able to read it one day. So I didn't know what to expect from this experience. Everyone kept telling me that Ducth is too difficult. But I must say that the course I've just finished was very clear and easy to understand. The teacher has been friendly and nice, so I've never been bored during her lessons. Also, the online experience was less alienating than I expected, I guess the teacher was able to make the most of it. I've fund Dutch a beautiful language and I will attend the next course in September
