Reviews for Kickstart School

Carmen is a great teacher. The online classes are run really well, it’s easy to access and there are still lots of speaking exercises and speaking with others in the class.

Very good experience with KickStart.

It was a good course for an initial start.

I enjoyed every class and I feel like I now have more confidence in speaking Dutch,. Kickstart is a great a course for learning Dutch.

I find the course enjoyable, the teachers really competent and fun! Highly recommended.

This is the the second time I’ve taken this class and it was much easier and I feel much more confident to move to the next level

I loved attending my Dutch classes and look forward to continuing next term! Maarten is a fantastic teacher.

The teacher was really good and useful

Friendly teacher, small class. How to increase conversation?

Teachers were great as they constantly identified gaps in knowledge and helped addressed them.

I have taken a course at Kickstart earlier also. That was online and have also enrolled for the next course.

My experience was very good. I am very happy with the way our classes are being managed by our teacher. Also having enough study material.

Great school!

Homework is integral to the approach, so make sure that you have time to do it.

I enjoyed the relaxed environment which Harriet created in the class. I also find the 'flip the classroom' method to be a really good way of studying. I do not enjoy the interface of coutinho and Kickstart, it's very confusing. Finally, I think there should be more English text in the book and website, particularly regarding grammar. How can I understand the intricacies of Dutch grammar when the video is in Dutch, if I'm still learning Dutch? Other than that, I enjoyed the course and I'm looking forward to stepping stone 4.

I had a great experience, my teacher Harriet was very helpful and the whole class was very enjoyable. Unfortunately due to personal circumstances I did not put enough effort into the homework in the last few weeks but I am sure that if I did I would have learned even more than I already did by attending my weekly classes. I enjoyed speaking a lot in class it taught me a lot.

I enjoyed my Dutch course mainly due to the class dynamic - we had a very chatty, gezellige class and this meant we got a lot of practice chatting in Dutch about various interesting topics relevant to our lives.

I had a smooth time with administration. Classroom setting and the teacher made me feel safe to speak. I feel more confident with my Dutch now and am willing to continue.

After the Stepping Stone II course I am now able to follow basic conversations in daily Dutch.

The structure of the course is really great for learning a language. The content was varied and the teacher was patient

The course was good, and had a good pace. The organizations was good, though I wish there was a way to message the teacher through KickstartNet. I would also welcome more writing exercises.

This class was a step up from my previous school. I liked how the classes were concise with no wasted time. I really felt like I was learning rapidly.

Amazing docent and really helpful course setting to learn Dutch. I find it comprehensive to follow the rules and exercises. Highly recommend!

It has been a very positive & encouraging experience.
