Etiquette Matters provides a range of age-appropriate, practical seminars and tutorials to develop leadership and personal skills in students from elementary grades through college. Seminars and tutorials present a variety of skills in different instructional settings. Dining tutorials help children and young adults feel confident in formal settings by providing instruction during the course of an actual meal. Seminars also provide instruction on dining, as well as on the etiquette of parties, public places, job and scholarship interviews, dating and routine interaction with adults and peers. Programs include half-day seminars for small classes and multiple-day programs that provide a mix of instructional activities for students, teachers and staff of an entire school or academy. Day-long etiquette camps offered on school holidays or vacation breaks also are a popular option. About Cecilia B.
