Reviews for Kickstart School

Great communication!

Ik vond dat de cursus goed gestructureerd was en ik vond het leuk hoe onze docent het deed

My first teacher Josien at Kickstart has been very attentive since beginning. I love her teaching method and the provided extra study materials are excellent for self study. The mixture of English - Dutch when explaining the rules does help in understanding them better

Sometimes is a lot of information and because of the time of course was not possible to go deep in each new subject. But because there are so many rules and is a difficult language I’d like to go deeper on each new subject to have a better foundation. Now I learned a lot but nothing is firm on what I learned. So I may take a different spreed course on the following. Many thanks Christine.

Really good teacher :))

The excellent school, very good classrooms, a lot of additional material for studying.

I am very happy to have taken this course. There is aa lot of subjective knowledge and context given in each class above and beyond the text materials and also methods to learn better way. Excellent help and homework excercises. Great way to learn new words. A small area of improvement could be just the organization of course materials - more basic and foundational material like tenses, verb conjugation, etc. could be focused in the earlier lessons thaan being distributed all across the 10 classes. But I also understand this might be probably the Delft method.

The lessons were engaging and helpful. The teacher was always friendly and knowledgeable.

Good infrastructure and materials, excellent teacher!

Christine is a great teacher, she’s very nice and open, she tries to include everyone no matter their personal pace. The course consists of reading, speaking and writing and there’s lots of homework.

I had a good time and was satisfied, which is why I will also participate in the next course.

Thank you for the course! I learned a lot and feel more comfortable with speaking Dutch. Bedankt, Josje!

I liked everything about the course, the teaching method and the lecturer who professionally delivered the lessons in a small online group of six. I recommend this course to anyone who would like to seriously learn Dutch for their future. Dank je wel voor alles. Ik kom zometeen terug in zomer.

I had a nice process of learning, it requires a lot of preparation and time out of the lessons, but with dedication the progress is seen. I really like the docent, she was patient and clear on her explanations.

It is a very well thought course, with nice activities during the lessons and the help from the administration is also good. Sometimes the housework is a bit too much to complete before the next lesson. I would like to have the course go a bit slower with more lessons.

I enjoyed it thoroughly and learned a great deal, which has significantly improved my current level.

Kickstart has always been a great school. The staff is always helpful, professional and kind. The courses are well organized and the groups are small enough for the teachers to pay close attention to each student. I've never had a bad experience while enrolling or attending any of their courses.

The general experience was good. Staff was very friendly and understanding. I was on the waiting list and they really put and effort to add me for wanted dates. Our teacher was always very well prepared for the classes and had a good way of explaining the language. The only downside of the course - there are way too many sources of materials which is quite overwhelming to begin with. Also, too much material planned for each class. Often part of it had to be pushed for another week so the speed of learning feels quite fast. Rather sooner than later I felt that I'm getting behind with material even with spending recommended 2,5-3 hours of self-studying during the week.

Carmen Volker is a great teacher. There course was a good pace, not too intensive. I had learn a great deal, although I have not put the amount of effort required.

Die lessen waren zo goed en die leerling zo lief. Ik kan haar ervaring in leren zien. Ik zou dit cursus nog een keer doen als ik kon terug in de tijd. Ik zou liever 2 keer per week doen ipv 1 keer 2:30h

I enjoyed the course a lot. It has helped me feel more confident in my Dutch. The lessons were dynamic and never boring.

I have the feeling that the school is well run. Teachers are friendly and competent and my Dutch improved quite a lot.

A wonderful course, with a wonderful teacher would and have recommended the school to other people.
