Instead Kickstart focuses on the functional use of the language, so you can communicate anywhere from the supermarket to the business meeting.

Achieving language skills in English or Dutch, or both, will define your job, your contacts, and your social circles here.

Kickstart’s dedicated teaching staff has years of experience working with international students. Many of our teachers have first-hand knowledge of what it is like to live abroad. They all understand the pleasures and challenges of learning a new language and a new culture. Their expert Dutch and English language training helps students beyond the classroom, for real-life scenarios at home, at work, at school, and among the community.

Kickstart offers English and Dutch courses for beginners, intermediate and advanced students. Our friendly, safe teaching environment encourages students’ progression through any level. The small class size ensures that every student has the opportunity to practise speaking. It also means a more intimate, targeted learning experience that addresses the group’s varied needs. We welcome students to share their goals with us so we can tailor course materials accordingly. For example, some students may need to pass an exam for university studies, while others need specific language skills for obtaining or keeping a job.

To accommodate students’ various Dutch and English language training needs, we organize a wide selection of courses with regular start dates. These include the Dutch Starterpack beginner course and Basic Au Pair course, NT2 exam course (Dutch as Second Language exam), Business Digital Writing course, Culture and Conversation course, and more. English courses range from Pre-Intermediate to Advanced, and a preparation course is also available for IELTS (International English Language Testing System).Both the English and Dutch courses are offered mornings and evenings to suit students’ schedules. We also offer customised courses and private tutoring for students interested in one-on-one coaching.
