Very nice
Good school
Discover new words and practice speaking English with the others.
I could speak English more freely and don't hesitate to make mistakes than before. I'm really happy to meet good teacher Debbie. She is really kind and professional! And also it is a good opportunity to meet friends from various countries.
I like to started speak English, I feel that I can do it
Really good ambiance
I followed a course on the advanced level l and it was very useful and it was fun. A lot of improvement. And more self-confidence. Thank you, Debby!
Everything was good, will use kickstart again
The teacher(Monique) taught really well and kept lessons very engaging and fun.
Lot of information in just 5 weeks to start being more integrated and included in The Netherlands. i recommend them!
Dear Maria, Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear that you found the program helpful in getting more integrated into life in the Netherlands and hope to see you again soon! The Kickstart School Team
Very nice experience overall, very welcoming
Everything met my expectations! Very nice school.
Dear Alejandra, Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that the course met your expectations and hope to welcome you back soon! The Kickstart School Team
The teacher was really good.
The book + online material were a good support with interesting and varied exercises, the topics were also very relevant for us. I liked that we got to practice every skill (and also pronunciation). The teacher was kind and explained well, but the class felt often too slow for me/ the teacher talked a bit too much and I found that it wasn't useful/ a waste of time to go over some material (like the reading comprehension we had to do as homework and that we could self correct...). I wish we had more time doing relevant speaking practices (like role plays)/more interactions with other pupils in the class, but I imagine it was harder to organize with an online class... I liked the flipped classroom concept (new material studied at home / explanation & practice in class) and the course gave me more confidence to speak "in real life". Overall a happy experience, with room for improvement !
Dear Marion, Many thanks for your thoughtful feedback. We are very glad to hear that the flipped classroom concept worked well for you and that your confidence in speaking has grown. We also value your feedback about the pacing and we’ll keep a close eye on a better balance between explanations and practice. We truly appreciate your insights and wish you all the best! Succes! The Kickstart School Team
Guus was great. Super friendly and patient.
Very good
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.
