- We recognized that a student must be able and willing to learn.
- Additionally, we believe that true learning happens at the family dinner table.
- Finally, we believe that students need an opportunity to practice what they have learned so it becomes part of who they are.
It led us to create our seven-step process:

What Clients Have To Say About Miss Cynthia
Client Testimonials
What mentors and students say about Miss Cynthia’s etiquette course:
"Most young men believe that etiquette classes are for "girls." Miss Cynthia, through her creative delivery model, has been able to dispell that myth. She has delivered sessions in a mentoring program designed for young male teens. These teens spent 3 sessions with her, and although they went into the session thinking, "What is this about", they came away excited about the classess. They have unanimously said, they were glad that they went throught the session, and have even practiced what they learned. They enjoyed the experience because Miss Cynthia made them feel comfortable from the beginning, using some of her personal experiences to put them at ease.
Miss Cynthia has a permanent place in our program, not only because ofher expertise in this area, but also because of her authenticity and openess with our group of young teens. She gets them hooked from the very first session, and they truly enjoy the experience. They have made statements like, "I am glad that I went through this, and went to the Gentleman's Tea, because I never had tea before. Another young man stated, "Now I have answers to questions about etiquette that I didn't feel comfortable asking before."
I am grateful to Miss Cynthia, for all of the quality time she spent with our young men. She met them where they were, and brought them along, and the results are phenomenal!" - Jeannie S, New York
