Josje has been a wonderful teacher, always friendly and supportive throughout. Even during the busy year-end period, she made the sessions engaging and enjoyable, turning commitment into a real pleasure.

I enjoyed having a small group which allowed everyone to participate and be heard. The threshold to participate and ask questions was low and I felt comfertable asking questions about what was not clear to me. The teacher explained everything well and made sure everyone was following and participating. My goal with the course was to get some direction in where to begin with the grammar, and practice speaking. I was pleased with the course and felt like I got what payed for.

I am very satisfied with all of the stepping stone courses that I have attended. The teachers were great and I liked that they changed per course. Also, the experience with the administration is very good, they are very nice and reply fast. I would definitely recommend Kickstart school :)

Good mix of vocabulary, grammar, speaking, and writing. My teacher, Letty keeps everyone in the class engaged the entire 2.5 hours. Would recommend to others!
