Manners are not anything to do with whether you are rich, have had a good education or grew up in certain social circles,. Today people are much more likely to define themselves by their work, their interests as well as their background or social status.

Learning the basis of good manners can make you feel far more confident in different social circumstances.

It is also important to put others at their ease and to show natural human concern which can be called ‘natural politeness’. A good starting point is to learn the ‘rules of formal’ etiquette so that when you are in an unusual or formal situation it is very useful to know the manners required

A basic guideline is to follow the 'less is more principle’ meaning that stiff and rigid manners are of less use in social and business situations while more charm, poise, and natural consideration for other will be of far greater value.

More Than Good Manners holds a one day introductory course to manners and etiquette, entitled "The London Lady and English Gentleman".

For more information on this, and to book your place, you can view our One day Etiquette Course here

Ideal for all sorts of circumstances, for example meeting and entertaining guests, moving or applying for a job, or college place, or simply to boost self awareness and confidence!

We offer one day courses or longer, as clients require, either on a one to one basis or for small groups (ideally up to ten people). We use as our base the Sloane Club in Central London as our main venue although we can run courses at other locations depending on demand.

The main areas we cover (but we can tailor as necessary according to interest or priority) are:

> Meeting and greeting in different social and business situations, how to address people, how to make people feel welcome and also how to say farewell
> Dressing for success – how first impressions count and how your personal interaction and appearance, body language, and poise can make you and your guests feel confident and at ease
> The manners and etiquette of dining – tips on table setting, seating plans and how to eat difficult or tricky foods
> Key points for manners and etiquette when hosting an event – how to make your guests feel at ease and welcome
> Manners and etiquette and the use of correct language

I had Ms Veronica's lesson of Table Manners & Etiquette and manners for Afternoon Tea. Among a lot of manner schools in England, I wanted to learn traditional English manners from a teacher from the upper classes.
Ms Veronica is the one who I was looking for for over 2 years.
Finally I met her for the first time, she looks so classy, different from other people.
Not only elegant, but she is so friendly as well.
I am sure you would find real sense of English aristocrats in her lessons.
That is what you cannot feel from other schools, that is 'more than good manners'.
I hope you enjoy it.
