I really enjoyed the online A1-A2 Dutch course. The teacher is kind and helpful and gets a good pace to the lesson for beginners. I felt that she was patient with us when we made mistakes. I like that the method, homework and structure of the lessons is really clear. Doing the course online is also very convenient and means I was able to follow easily every week. I feel a lot more confident in my Dutch (particularly listening) and am signed on to do the next course.
Good communication and feedback from facilitator. I would have liked lessons to be more practical and not as much working through the book.
Dear Jeanné, Thank you for your valuable insights. We’re happy to hear that you found the course engaging and that communication with the teacher went smoothly. We understand your desire for more practical lessons and will definitely look into balancing the use of the book with even more hands-on activities in the future. The course book can be a great starting point for that, in addition to serving as a guide through the intricacies of the language. All the best in your future learning journey! The Kickstart School Team
I Had the opportunity to study from home, doing speaking and reading during the online course with the teacher and tgr classmates
Positive experience, nothing negative to mention.
Some exercises were very easy and others very difficult, it was difficult to feel a clear progression sometimes. More conversation would be helpful and less reading sentences on the PowerPoint slides. The teacher was very nice and understanding and presented ideas very carefully.
Dear Abriel, Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are pleased to learn that you found the teacher approachable and the teaching well-structured. Our quality assurance policy includes continuous efforts to reach an optimal balance in the difficulty of exercises and to maximize conversation practice. We’ll certainly keep your input in mind for future lessons! Best regards, The Kickstart School Team
Overall I can definitely recommend the lessons but would prefer an option where it's twice 1 h a week rather than 2hour bulks. After a full day of work it gets really hard to follow online. The teacher was patient and there were rarely if no technical problems at all.
The material was well thought out. The teacher did an excellent job en guiding us through the course. Very pasiënt and very informative
We had previously tried a different language school for group lessons and found it wasn't a good fit for us. Kickstart School and our instructor Carmen were wonderful with our personal lessons -- Carmen was incredibly patient with us and made learning fun. I would highly recommend Carmen for personalized instruction.
Finishing up the Stepping Stone I course, I've had a great experience so far and improved my Dutch a lot.
Friendly and receptive school and teacher. Would highly recommend to others.
De Nederlandse B2-C1 cursus was een uitstekende ervaring. Carmen was een zeer deskundige en geduldige docent die de lessen op een boeiende manier leidde. Wat ik het meest waardeerde, waren de interactieve en sprekende onderdelen van de cursus, die me hielpen mijn taalvaardigheden in de praktijk toe te passen. De dynamische sfeer in de klas zorgde ervoor dat ik me snel op mijn gemak voelde en gemotiveerd bleef om verder te leren. Het was een waardevolle investering in mijn taalontwikkeling.
Good experience, a lot of interesting conversations and good exercises to practice at home.
The course offers excellent studies to learn grammar and understand structure rules. However, for an intensive course, it's essential to complete the homework and prepare before each class; otherwise, it may be challenging to keep up. Additionally, practicing speaking outside of class is crucial for reinforcing what you've learned.
I ve been having courses with Kickstart for 2 years already, and plan to continue with them!
Our teacher was well prepared and really well structured and I learned more in this class then by any other similar courses I have attended
I had a really great time studying at Kickstart and my Dutch has improved a lot!
Redelijk
Very good teachers, super friendly environment.
I really enjoyed the course stepping stone 4. The teacher was very pleasant and nice, she made the course interesting and easy to follow. I really enjoyed the additional working material, such as reading the weakly news and having the opportunity to read literature books and the discussions during the lesson. I would definitely recommend kickstartschool and I'd definitely follow another course :)
I really enjoyed the course and the reading materials!
Started joining the course at an advanced level and was happy with the small group size and heavy focus on conversation. Good integration of materials via online platform.
Great teacher
Good experience with Kickstart, I would recommend to others
Ik heb De stepping stone vier gevolgd. Ik houd van de docent Josje en haar les.ze nam elke feedback en maakt elke les beter. Ik zal de kickstart naar mijn vrienden voorstellen.
Homework requires time. Listening is not really exercised in the lessons. Teacher was always kind and tried to find answers to all of our questions. I missed the interaction in the group and would prefer to do all the exercises together. I enjoyed a lot the presentation we had in the class and gave me the feeling that I know my classmates a bit better. Thank you!
