The lack of good manners is a growing problem in classrooms and playgrounds.  Our children and youth have not fully developed their social skills nor learned proper etiquette, which leads to truancy, delinquency, poor behavior, dropping out of school, and low academic achievement.  Developing strong socials skills and good character is essential to raising healthy, productive children who will grow into adulthood and enter the professional world.

Success with Etiquette's™ Children & Youth Program is a highly interactive, educational, and entertaining session with fun role-playing exercises that help children develop their social skills and character while building self-esteem, confidence, and leadership skills.  The program teaches students the principles of proper etiquette and how their communication and social skills can enhance or undermine their personal growth and future success in the workplace. 

Our program gives students the tools they need to cultivate relationships and feel socially at ease and adept at handling a myriad of social situations.  We teach students that practicing good manners is a way of life and etiquette is one of your most valuable assets that distinguishes you from the ordinary and makes you extraordinary!

I work one-on-one with students age 5 and up to help them develop their emotional intelligence, communication, manners, organizational, and social skills to advance academically, socially, and professionally.  I tutor students in various academic subject areas helping them become well-rounded individuals.  The tutoring sessions are tailored to meet your child's specific needs. Children who fail to learn appropriate social skills lack self-esteem and struggle to succeed in school, develop emotionally, interact positively with friends, and learn problem-solving skills. Social skills are also critical in obtaining gainful employment. Employers judge individuals based on their communication (verbal/nonverbal cues) and social skills. With appropriate instruction, stimulating interaction, and entertaining activities, children can develop the emotional intelligence and social skills needed to be comfortable and adept in handling diverse situations.  Our  sessions will produce real, immediate improvements in your child's behavior, social skills, and academic achievement.    ENROLL NOW – INVEST IN YOUR CHILD!
