Kickstart School

Kickstart School offers Dutch English and Chinese language training for motivated people who wish to achieve tangible results under the expert guidance of our highly-skilled teachers. Our regular courses and tailor-made programmes cater for individuals, companies, expats, students, children, and au pairs, and can be taken in groups, privately or in-house. Josien Deknatel founded Kickstart School in 2001 with the goal of offering both good quality and value for money. She and her team are continually developing and expanding the school based around her vision of a healthy, strong, knowledge-based company that is run in an effective and personal way. Kickstart’s staff is now made up of around 25 teachers supported by our administrative team, ensuring that the school runs smoothly and flexibly. Kickstart has a proven track record of consistency and quality. Our goal is to provide a pleasant, supportive, and challenging learning environment for both teachers and students, where personal attention and care are paramount. In particular, our limited group sizes ensure that each student receives individual attention and has ample opportunity to put their skills into practice.
