Reviews voor Kickstart School

The experience with class is very good. I can speak and practice grammar. But the instruction to get password and link to access class is not too clear

Great teacher and satisfied overall but too much homework to be effective. I cannot dedicate many study hours since I have a demanding full time job. I suggest that you change the way the hw is presented and put all the most important things together at the top.

I like the classroom materials a lot. They are very useful and detailed. The classroom atmosphere is also nice. However, I would expect the teacher to be slow down a bit and give more information about the word pronunciation and grammar. In general, I like the lessons very much and i think i learned a lot already! I would probably sign up for the following lessons and recommend it to my fellow friends too!

I attended a start-up Dutch class, in the 2023 Summer term. İt was a Semi-intensive course with rich materials such as the Nederlands GANG book, handouts, Coutinho.nl Portal...etc. for these materials you have a guide in the slides otherwise you can lose yourself between materials. The other important thing is you have homework but they are includes repeating the previous lesson and preparing the future lesson. so if you do homework it is not possible to attend an unclear lesson. One thing is you should be careful, you separate your time out of lessons because it is semi-intensive.

I chose to take Dutch courses and I had a very pleasant time. I learned so much that I can now understand when people speak Dutch next to me.

In general the experience is good. But it's a bit too intensive for me. There is no enough time to revise what I've learned. I will consider signing up for the course that is once a week.

The content of the kickstart website was organised and helpful also the teacher was very professional and helpful Great experience

I attended the remote course on Stepping Stone II. I was very satisfied with the overall organization. Furthermore, the course material was diverse and covered all language skills. The teacher was very friendly and the lessons were organized in a way that made the whole experience very interesting to attend. I'm planning to register to a more advance course the following academic year.

The kickstart course has a nice combination of reading comprehension, writing and Spoken Dutch. Josje was very patient and engaging.

Every contract has been seamless, easy, and smooth. The courses feel a bit long sometimes, but they are working as I’m learning more Dutch than I realized, haha. A nice school and would recommend!

I like the approach to prepare for the class first and then be able to ask questions during the class.

Kickstart has very good courses and materials to learn Dutch. In particular I want to thank Letty, our teacher, for an excellent course.

This A2+ course it was very informative and useful.I t helps a lot of to improve Netherlands language knowledge. This course broadened my knowledge of the Dutch language. I recommend this course to all.

I really enjoyed Letty teaching this course. I can see that she is very experienced at teaching the lower levels. Although I found the exercises quite challenging, I found her to be very patient when I tried to form my own sentences. I also found the environment to be a safe and accepting place in practicing my Dutch.

The environment is top! well equipped and our teacher extremely attentive to our needs. The rhythm was well chosen: even though the classroom level was all not the same our teacher made sure everyone was included be it in oral or writing. I never taught I could read a book and I find myself by end of course having read a small thriller in Dutch .

The summer intensive course was very useful. It helped me a lot. The classes were not too difficult but still very productive. My Dutch became way better.

Very friendly , easy going and amazing course

The kick start school was alway avaible when needed.

Everybody was very kind, helpful and accommodating. After the lesson I felt more confident in my Dutch and found my teacher very supportive. Overall, a very good experience.

Everything from the side of the administration was seamless. I enjoyed the lessons. The teacher made it challenging and the challenge was at the right level.

Ik heb B1 & B2 bij kickstart school gedaan. Mijn docent was mevrouw Letty. Zij is heel aardig en moedigt ons enorm aan. Ik leer veel grammatica & spreek ook heel veel. We hebben tien klassen en ik dank dat het is een beetje kort vergelijken met de enorm studiemateriaal. Het zou een goed idee om kleine toets in de klas regelen.

It was like in old good times. I really miss this kind of education. I am glad that I was in this course. I have learned a lot. My basic knowledge of Dutch is now sorted in my brain.

Really just an exceptionally well organized school and course. Wonderful admin support and our instructor Maarten was just amazing.

The starterpack course was a great introduction to the Dutch language. We covered a lot of material and there were plenty of opportunities to ask questions. The teacher, Maarten, was extremely knowledgeable, not just about Dutch but also other languages which allowed him to make parallels to other languages which was very helpful. He was also able to share many interesting anecdotes which brought the lessons to life. My only reservation is that the class size of eight is quite large and meant that it was somewhat tricky to cater to the various abilities in the group. Nevertheless, I would recommend kickstart and will attend their other classes in future. Thank you, Maarten!

I enjoyed learning Dutch in the starter pack and getting to know grammatical rules. However I think there should have been more vocab in the start. I didn’t learn a ton of new words and especially verbs so it’s still hard for me to translate a sentence without context. Also coutinho was not great either. But other than that it was perfect. The break was really nice and I feel I have a better grasp on the language. Also classmates as well as mr smit were very kind and helpful
