A MESSAGE FROM MISS CYNTHIA

We Are Now Open!

I am excited to share that we are open, and our offerings look a little different.

The pandemic offered the opportunity to shift my business from an in-person model to a virtual one. It also gave me an opportunity to work with a different target market. I spent all of 2020 learning how to do it. Now, I have begun the task of converting our courses into a virtual format, and updating our website.

Yes, I am in the process of becoming a virtual business with a national presence. About 95% of my programs and classes will be virtual.

HOWEVER, there is no way I can completely leave my students, so I will continue to offer regularly scheduled in-person classes for the programs and classes listed below.

YOUTH PROGRAMS

Young Diplomats Ages 5-7…The best way for our young ones to learn is in a live, interactive learning environment! These regularly scheduled classes will remain in-person.
Little Ambassadors Ages 8-12… Preparing our Ambassadors for the two most important social seasons of the year is a must! We will offer a Spring and Fall social etiquette refresher class.
Just for Teens Ages 13-17… Summer Work Interviews, University Interviews, Proms and social events are at the top of the teen calendar, so we will offer in-person Spring and Fall preparatory classes.
British Afternoon Tea Ages 5-17… Virtual teas just won’t do!
4-Course Dining Experience Ages 5-17… Dining with Miss Cynthia is the best (and most fun) way to learn how to dine properly!

ADULT PROGRAMS

Networking Event…Each quarter we will offer our simulated networking event class to prepare professionals for those dreaded networking events!
4-Course Dining Experience… Dining at Max of Eastman Place with Miss Cynthia is the only way to really learn the dining basics.

I am in the process of scheduling my next round of offerings.

You will find that I am still available to you, and only a phone call away!

Thank you for your patience and understanding. My hope is that you will find value in both our virtual and in-person programs.

I appreciate your continued interest and support.

Warmly,

Miss Cynthia
