Testimonials

If one were to look up the definition of 'consummate professional' in the dictionary, one would find Bernice Lee. Ms. Lee was an incredibly patient and compassionate etiquette instructor. I have taken other dining etiquette lessons, but none can compare in terms of the detail and patience Ms. Lee provided. I consider myself lucky to have such an opportunity, especially considering I will be entering the professional workforce soon. In the competitive job market of today, one cannot overlook the importance of dining etiquette. |
