Join The British School of Excellence for private coaching in social etiquette, fine dining and afternoon tea, with every detail thoughtfully arranged around you.
Meet us online from the comfort of your home, or enjoy a personal experience in London, from our stunning offices at 10 Trinity Square to the capital’s most elegant dining rooms.
Whether you are investing in yourself, supporting your child or bringing together a private group, we will create a programme that feels personal, engaging and a pleasure to attend.
Perhaps there is an occasion you would love to approach with greater confidence, a skill you have always wanted to master, or a new chapter for which you would like to feel better prepared.
You may want to feel more assured when meeting people, develop a polished social presence or understand the finer details of dining and entertaining. For your child or teenager, you may wish to nurture confidence, consideration and the ability to feel comfortable in different company.
Whatever brings you to us, we begin by listening. Your interests, ambitions and requests shape the experience, from the subjects we explore to the setting, pace and duration.
Picture a private coaching session at 10 Trinity Square, followed by the opportunity to put your learning into practice over a beautifully served lunch or afternoon tea.
With your coach beside you, the details become easier to understand and more enjoyable to explore. Discover how to navigate an intricate place setting, converse comfortably between courses and appreciate the traditions of afternoon tea, with time to ask all the questions you have ever wanted to ask.
Your experience can take place at The Goring, The Lansdowne Club, The Lanesborough or Fortnum & Mason. We can also explore The Ritz, Claridge’s or another beautiful venue of your choice, subject to availability.
Whether you choose a focused session or a more leisurely experience, we will make the time purposeful, personal and memorable.
Enjoy dedicated time with your coach without travelling to London. Our live online sessions offer a warm, engaging space to develop your confidence, explore new skills and receive guidance that relates directly to your life.
Prepare for an important dinner, practise introductions and conversation, or build your skills through a series of sessions. Each appointment gives you personal attention, practical exercises and the freedom to progress at your own pace.
Give your child the pleasure of feeling confident and capable in company. Enjoyable, interactive sessions bring good manners to life, from greeting someone warmly and joining a conversation to behaving thoughtfully at the table.
Help your teenager step into new situations with greater self-assurance. Relevant, practical coaching develops confident communication, social awareness, personal presentation and dining skills they can use as their independence grows.
Explore the details that help you feel poised, comfortable and confident in company. Your private programme can bring together conversation, social presence, hosting, fine dining and afternoon tea, with The Young Ladies’ Edition tailored to younger participants.
Develop an assured presence and the confidence to handle social occasions thoughtfully. From making introductions to hosting guests and dining with ease, your coaching offers practical guidance shaped around your age, experience and ambitions.
Spend time enjoying two of life’s great pleasures while learning the details that make them feel effortless. Choose a dedicated dining or afternoon tea experience, or include both within your bespoke programme.
Come on your own for individual attention, share the experience with someone special, or arrange a private session for your family or group.
Tell us what you have in mind, and we will prepare a personal proposal with your recommended programme, duration, setting and fees. All sessions are arranged by appointment.
We would love to create something special for you.
