Reviews voor Kickstart School

I have learned a lot. I especially value the speaking and writing exercises, as well as the culture-related texts and the additional small book. I prefer putting more focus on the texts from the book and perhaps exclude the booklet.

This is my second language course with Kickstart and it has been really fantastic so far. The school managed to adapt quickly to the COVID situation and offer classes remotely that are as good as traditional sit in sessions. Splendid !!!

I think the course is organized well by making good use of technology - in my case that is with the combination of the portal and zoom. I am also glad the class is delivered on sat a.m., which make me possible to join outside of NL even with different time zones. The teacher is professional and explained clearly. the class size of 4-5 students on a zoom class is good - allow good portion of time for each student to participate.

I was able to develop my Dutch speaking and comprehension during my time with the school.

This is a great course to start with. It helps you understand the grammer and basic foundations of the language. The additional materials provided by Kickstart is very good and the teacher uses a variety of techniques which is good. But you have to put in alot of self study to truly pick up vocabulary. A good starter course! I would recommend it!

The class is intense but gave me a great opportunity to start learning Dutch. I can understand the basics of Dutch through these lessons which I wanted to learn. The lessons are well-balanced with listening, speaking and writing. I could develop each area. The teacher constructed the course hours well. I wish to continue to the next course when I have time next time. I did not find difficulty to participate online.

Ms Letty is very friendly, forthcoming, structured and clear in her teaching methods. She explains things in a simple and easy to understand manner. I have already recommended another friend to the course in 2021!

I really really enjoyed the class with Letty. She is an amazing teacher. She knows what she is doing, works from a plan, always well prepared, gives us tips to understand the language and pushes us out of our comfort zone. I am very satisfied with the course.

Kathleen taught us perfectly the grammer to move towards Level A2; She helped us in improvement of all reading, writing, speaking aspect. Thank you for improving my Dutch.

The overall experience was great. Kathleen and Daniela was extremely friendly and helped with any questions and made it an unforgettable experience. I could not ask for an for an more understanding and patient teacher than Kathleen.

Maarten was an excellent instructor. He was patient and gave us a lot of examples for the various grammar rules. He didn't mind explaining some parts again if we had any doubts. The supplementary material was good. The course was held online due to COVID-19. Looking forward to the next course, Stepping Stone I.

-Maarten is a very friendly teacher who makes sure that his students are understanding the material -Online learning was great -We had a grammar and vocabulary game during the last class of the course, I would suggest teachers should play more games like this! It was fun and a nice way to review the material.

I found the beginner course for Dutch extremely good. It was easy to follow and the teaching was excellent. In the beginning it felt like there was too much hitting you at once but later in the course it felt bearable, and I really enjoyed every lesson.

I am satisfied with the course. Specifically I gave a feedback that speaking should be more and it was implemented immediately from next lessons!

I would definitely recommend the class. Grammar was clear Many opportunities to talk and improve with other students on the same level as me.

It was enjoyable and understandable course held by Marten Smit. I found the balance good, probably speaking exercises should be a bit more complex with some assessment - follow up.

I'm learning and having fun with Kickstart. I'll certainly continue the courses until I reach the highest level of Dutch.

Ik vond de less veel goede met Sanne. Heel veel learen door de less.

I am very happy with the instructor I have and also the help/ instructions that I receive from the administrative staff from Kickstart. Also, they are very student-friendly and helpful, we have opened another Stepping Stone 5 course with our instructor upon our request and I think that is amazing that they fulfill our request.

Happy with the Dutch classes online, with the teacher and the dynamics of the class.

I have been participating in online Dutch courses of Kickstart and I really like how the courses are organized. They give equal importance to speaking, writing, reading, listening, and vocabulary. Also, the practice website Kickstart.net provides very useful exercises.

i am very satisfied whit the way the course works and the concept of course

I had the course remotely and it worked pretty well. Zoom and breakout rooms work nicely. The teacher Letty is very good in what she does and can see well what each student needs. The materials are very supportive, but specially at the beginning it can be a little confusing to figure out where you are (handout, book, countinho...) Sometimes the pace of the course is a bit fast, so you need to be up to date with the homework and invest on studying after class. I liked the experience very well and will be continuing with the next module.

it was just perfect, the fact that it was online didnt make any inconvenience actually opposite it gave me less stress to travel and be on time.
