"Thank you for such a wonderful experience!! Reese has loved this class and said she is sad that today is the last day!!"

Daniel came home with great information. Will motivate me to take out the china and crystal! Thank you!

I very much enjoyed both your company and presentation. The number of questions you elicited from the students shows that your presentation was directly on point to their needs; I have never been to a presentation on campus that sparked so many organic questions. Look forward to working with you again. -Alison E. Preston Candidate for Juris Doctor, 2018 Stetson University College of Law

The boys had a great time on Saturday. Eli has been getting compliments all weekend from friends and strangers on his manners!

My sister Brice and I wanted to thank you for making "Manners Class" so much fun for Summer and Emma. They had a great time and learned a lot. Please keep us in mind if you have additional classes in the future.

"I wanted to thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. Rylan has really enjoyed his time in your class and he comes home with great things to share (and we're learning a thing or two!). We're so impressed with all that you've done and your ways of keeping the kids engaged."

"Thank you. Maggie LOVED the class, and you will be happy to know that George liked the class (especially the candy). He has been very proud to stand at my chair and say, 'May I?' as he pulls my chair out and pushes it in. He is so proud. Maggie has been the manners police and is not letting him forget a thing. Clearly you have done a fabulous job!"

"Maya enjoyed the class. She has been correcting her little brother on a few things...so she was obviously paying attention! Thanks!!!"

"Thank you so much for sharing proper etiquette with the boys today. Every one of them came out energized and full of tidbits for their mothers! I was pleasantly surprised at how much they enjoyed the experience."

"She loved the class! Thank you. She even came home and asked me, 'What can I do to help you mom?' So nice."

“Bennett has really enjoyed the class and reports back what he has learned. Thanks!”

“McCall has LOVED the class and will be back next year. You've made the class fun and taught essentials! Our mealtimes are better because of The Manners Advantage!”

“We are so pleased with all that Andrew learned from the Manners Advantage classes he attended. Going into the program, Andrew had plenty of home instruction on manners, but it was practicing them amongst friends in the Manners Advantage’s fun and social setting that really made them sink in. He always enjoyed going to the classes, and improved with each one. What a joy it is to see the teachings in practice!”

"Fun class! The boys are picking up some good manners. Thank you!"

“My son thoroughly enjoyed this class. He looked forward to it every week!”

“Justin has enjoyed the class and has learned from it. He has come home enthusiastic and eager to share what they learned that day. This course is a wonderful complement to what we daily teach our children at home!”

“Alex is using the skills he has learned in the etiquette classes. His voice is more confident and his eye contact has improved. He was having dinner with friends and the parents shared that Alex asked the girls to order fist!”

"I believe the children are really enjoying and learning at the same time!" - Joyce Addison, Executive Director and Owner, Seaborn Schools

"It has been a pleasure working with Leslie over the years! The level of professionalism and interaction she brings to her seminars is both entertaining and insightful. Thank you!" - Scott Fairbairn, General Manager, Tampa Yacht and Country Club
