Why Choose Our Course?

• Expertly Designed Curriculum: Our course is crafted by a professional with a deep understanding of how personal expression affects social outcomes and extensive training in structuring interactive practice activities that produce skill fluency. This ensures that the course is not only informative but also engaging and effective.

• Interactive Learning: We meet more than twice as often as traditional programs focused on etiquette to accommodate each topic’s substantial slate of practice activities. Hearing good ideas is helpful, but practicing them in varied, well-designed activities with other learners is transformative. The course focuses on the active participation of students with each other, allowing them to develop natural fluency in social skills through well-structured activities.
