Reviews for Kickstart School

The class environment and teaching is good. The grammar explanations in the textbook are sometimes not detailed enough at all.

A lovely group of brilliant students and Guus was a clear and patient teacher. I found her Dutch particularly clear. I felt guilty because my speaking is so bad compared to some people in the class - so I was not really adding to the quality of their experience. I will take this course again as I am not yet ready to move on.

the classes started on time which was nice. The classes were consistent which was different from my earlier class. I enjoyed it and would like to continue to the next course. Thank you

Good

It was a compact course with the right amount of everything. Maarten is very knowledgeable and well prepared.

Excellent course material

I like the method but at some point I feel it's a little bit intensive. I suggest 12 lessons instead of 10

This was my first experience with the course set up to study and introduce lessons to ourselves and using the course time to review what we learned. It was very helpful and created a lot more engagement in the lesson. The teacher, Letty Akkerman was very knowledgeable and helped make the lessons even more enjoyable. 2.5 hours per lesson is a lot, but I understand the reasoning. Overall would recommend

I feel like I learned the basic rules of the language. And now I feel like I need to practice and move forward so that I really get the grasp of it.

It was good as I feel like I'm immersed into more Dutch speaking and listening because the teacher uses the language so often.

super lesson !

Very well built program that gives the basis of the language.

No issues everything went smoothly

I enjoyed learn dutch with Letty. She is a good teacher.

Overall it was good and the course easy enough to understand and the homework was not too difficult

Very kind teacher

It was pleasure to start learning Dutch and I will definitely continue to do raise my Dutch level.

Great variety of courses.

I’m really satisfied with the course. The materials are very helpful to improve my Dutch knowledge. My teacher, Guus, also gave me a very good feedback throughout the course to let me pronounce some Dutch words better and also correct my Dutch writing. Last but not least, I would recommend this course to anybody that is interested to kickstart your Dutch language learning (I’ve recommended this course to one of my colleague actually right after finishing the course).

I had zero level before starting the course. But just in 3 weeks, this course changed me to read and understand some basic words and sentences. The instruction is clear. The curriculum is amazing. There are lots of materials for you to study and practice. My teacher, Guus, has necessary skills, knowledge and patience to give the lecture for beginners. Also, she gave me the helpful feedback to study Dutch. Highly recommend this course for the people who eager to improve their Dutch.

I like the atmosphere, the place and the people working here !

The experience is so good and I see myself improved a lot. I look forward for the next class.

I took the course of the Startpack from 15 January to 15 February at Kickstart school. It was such a fun but also there are a lot of motivation in each class. We are 10 people from many different countries across different regions! The semi- intensive schedule kept me motivated very wel!

It has been a good experience

I have learnt a lot more here in one month than I did in all my years learning a similar language (Afrikaans). Christine is a great teacher, fun, approachable and very helpful. This is the reason I am carrying on my course. I would love to continue with her but I will be back in my home country. Thank you for this course!
