Etiquette & Manners Coaching, Trusted By
We are lucky to have connected with her!
My family and I attended a four hour private session with Mrs. Akano, and it was lovely. She planned a beautiful day at the Strathmore Hotel. The session was focused around dining etiquette, but she tailored the session to also include deportment and interpersonal skills as per my request. I am so glad that we did this!
Mrs. Akano is knowledgeable, patient, and kind. After this experience, my whole family feels more confident in our skills. She left plenty of time for additional questions, and was able to respond to our needs in the moment. After the session, it made me even more passionate to learn about etiquette in general. We are lucky to have connected with her! Highly recommend.

Need something more bespoke?
My bespoke etiquette classes are fully personalised programmes for individuals, families, and organisations such as businesses, schools, colleges, and universities. Following an initial consultation, I design a private one-to-one or group etiquette course, delivered either in London or online. My courses blend social, business, and digital etiquette to meet your specific goals, context, and pace.
Children’s Etiquette Lessons & Manners Classes
Polished Manners’ children’s etiquette lessons and manners classes teach kindness, confidence, and consideration through fun, interactive learning. Designed for children aged six and above, each session combines conversation, games, and role play to help children understand respect, gratitude, and the importance of small gestures.
At Polished Manners, etiquette and manners classes move quickly to keep children engaged and inspired, with activities that build communication, confidence, and character. From dining etiquette to polite conversation, I help your child feel comfortable, capable, and proud of how they present themselves at home, school, and in social settings.
Parents who choose Polished Manners see noticeable improvement in their children’s levels of respect, empathy, and self-assuredness—progress that is documented at the end of the course with a review sheet and certificate.

Etiquette Training for Youth (Teens & Young Adults)
My youth etiquette classes bridge the gap between adolescence and adulthood, helping young people between the ages of 13-18 develop the confidence, communication skills, and self-awareness they need to tackle university interviews, first jobs, and the pressures of social media and modern life.
I provide lively, practical sessions both online and in person that teach students how to make positive first impressions, speak with clarity and respect, and handle formal or professional settings with ease. We explore everything: introductions and body language, online manners, grooming, and personal presentation—all in a way that feels natural and empowering.
Parents see their teenagers become more self-assured, resilient, and socially fluent. Students discover that etiquette is less about restriction, and more about freedom and the confidence to be authentic, kind, and at ease in any environment.
Who these classes are suitable for:
- Teenagers (13-18) preparing for university or scholarship interviews
- Young adults entering first jobs, work experience, or internships
- Students who need help with confidence, communication, and self-presentation
- Teens struggling with social media pressures, anxiety, or social uncertainty
- Young people who would benefit from structured, modern guidance on adult etiquette
Etiquette Classes for Adults

Ranging from private one-to-one sessions to small group workshops, my etiquette classes for adults combine traditional British etiquette with modern relevance. More than just teaching you which fork to use, I provide tailored coaching, role-play, and practical exercises covering a range of scenarios, from business meetings and networking events to dinner parties and formal occasions.
You will learn how to introduce yourself articulately, build meaningful conversations, and hold yourself with assurance and aplomb. Once our sessions are complete, you will make a positive impression wherever you go—in business and beyond.

- Adults who feel unsure in social or professional settings
- Professionals wanting to strengthen networking and communication skills
- Individuals who want to build confidence and refine their presence

My business etiquette training helps you make the most of these interactions, empowering you to communicate with clarity, confidence, and respect—whatever the setting.
My training enables you to introduce and conduct yourself with confidence, charisma, and composure in business. We will cover the full spectrum: from business etiquette, cultural awareness, and digital communication to corporate hospitality across boardrooms and business dinners. Following our sessions, you will naturally build rapport and credibility, wherever you go.
My sessions help executives and their teams develop professional presence and the real-world skills and competencies needed in business. Together, we will transform your communication, client relationships, and confidence under pressure.
Polished Manners’ business etiquette training is available privately, online, or at your premises. Importantly, my training is always tailored: to your goals, company culture, and professional ambitions.

Table Manners & Dining Etiquette
My table manners and etiquette training helps you feel calm, confident, and polished at the table, whether at a family meal, business lunch, afternoon tea, wedding, or formal dinner. Together, we cover modern table etiquette, correct British table settings, how to use cutlery, and the small ‘silent signals’ that make a big difference to how you are perceived.
I believe in clear demonstrations, guided practice, and simple explanations. Through this approach, I will teach you the full gamut of British table etiquette: how to set a table properly for everyday meals and special occasions, and how to behave with grace once you sit down to eat; napkin etiquette, passing dishes, dinner party etiquette, and who sits at the top table at a wedding. I make sure all my sessions are approachable, memorable, and above all, useful.
Clients who complete my table manners and table etiquette training enjoy complete confidence and poise at the table. Instead of worrying about which fork to use or how to set a table place setting, my classes teach you to relax, enjoy the moment, and focus on building relationships—all in the knowledge that your table manners are working in your favour.
Who these classes are suitable for:
- Adults who feel unsure about table etiquette at dinners, parties, or formal events
- Professionals attending business lunches, office parties, or client dinners
- Teens and young adults preparing for banquets, university events, or interviews over meals
- Parents who want their children to develop good table manners and eating etiquette
- Couples, families, or wedding parties wanting clarity on wedding table settings and top table etiquette
