My daughter, Alex was transformed by the workshop. She is confidently discussing and practicing what she learned. I hope to have her do more workshops like this.

My son was skeptical and resistant to attending this class but after we picked him up, for the rest of the evening he told us ALL the things he learned (I could not believe he learned that much in an hour!) and then made a goal for himself to start a conversation with 10 adults that week. Needless to say the class exceeded all of our expectations.

I highly recommend this program! Nikki is a pleasure to work with, our 11-year-old granddaughter looked forward to each class. We hope to in the future sign up for more classes.
Excellent experience and made to feel very welcomed at each class.
Thank you for providing your knowledge with our granddaughter. I wish all young people had the opportunity to experience this class.
Thank you!

My 9-year-old son did a one-day workshop, and learned some new things while my life lessons were underscored by the instructor. She engaged him with the programming and also the handouts/worksheets. Highly recommend!

Nikki is absolutely amazing and her passion for sharing her knowledge is evident each time she has worked with my Upward Bound (high school) students! She has presented two workshops for us. The first was a small group of 10 students last spring and then to 35 students this summer. No matter the size of the group, she is attentive and patient with all of them. Her presentation is extremely thorough, providing different styles of etiquette and manners with verbal, visual and kinesthetic examples of how to execute what she is explaining. She shares important soft skills that are crucial to success in a professional or an elevated social setting. I highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed and will walk away with more information than you had started with.

My son really enjoyed the dining etiquette workshop he took with The New England School of Protocol. Nikki was thorough and patient and the cadence and flow of the class was suited to a group of children under the age of 10. Highly recommend.

Angela D.

I can’t say enough good things about this dining etiquette workshop (we had a private session). Our 12 year old girl benefitted so much, and I actually think she learned in an different way compared to when we did another etiquette boot camp in the Boston area. The folder of leave-behind materials was also a nice touch, and is evident of the thoughtful framework given to this workshop — empowering a goal-setting and growth mindset. Highly recommend this for any pre-teen or teenager.

I wish these courses were integrated into the school day! Nikki teaches practical skills that kids can use for life to help communicate effectively and get along with others.

What a wonderful program! We had 12 junior Girl Scouts (age 9) attend a 90 minute dining etiquette program to complete the Social Butterfly badge. The kids were all engaged the entire time and took lessons home to their families. I highly recommend this for troops!

Karla A.

Nikki was amazing! I have to say, my entire family was very skeptical of this private dining class that I planned. By the end of the evening, they became total converts! We all learned so much both in terms of dining etiquette (rules to follow at the table) and table manners (how to be a good citizen while dining)! The class was supposed to be two hours but went for almost three because we were all so engaged in the process. And we all agreed it made food much more enjoyable to eat when you take pride in the experience. Highly recommend!

Brooke W.

My kids had a wonderful experience at the New England School of Protocol. Initially I was worried that they might not enjoy it, but they (and I) were pleasantly surprised. They learned the basics of manners and I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended!!

Dana C.

My daughter and son just participated in the Social Skills and Dining Etiquette Program tutored by Nikki, and they enjoyed it very much. Thank you Nikki!

Frank C.

The myth is that people that practice proper etiquette are snobby, but Nikki is one of the most down to earth, kind, compassionate, considerate, and approachable persons, that has ever taught the women at Dress For Success Worcester a workshop. We thoroughly enjoyed this workshop, and we learned so much. This is a lost art form, and I’m really happy I now have a chance to share this knowledge with my family, and the rest of the world. Thank you so much Nikki

Miranda C.

A wonderful experience for kids. My son learned a lot about social skills from Nikki. He had a great time in the program

Rose D.

I enrolled my two daughters, ages 10 and 12, in this after school program. It was wonderful! Nikki Sawhney covered everything, including table manners, thank you notes, public speaking, making introductions, eye contact, telephone and online etiquette, sportsmanship, and many other topics too. During several classes they had a real dining experience with silver, china and and a linen tablecloth. I feel that these are important topics for all children to learn. Our culture does not reinforce good manners and sometimes kids need to learn these things from someone other than their parents. Nikki Sawhney has a passion for teaching children about etiquette. She has a warm and engaging manner and she makes it fun for the kids.

Lisa P.

A wonderful class taught by a wonderful teacher! My daughter really enjoyed this class and learned the basics of dining and social etiquette.

Mrs. Sawhney was wonderful with my daughter. She’s 8 and in 3rd grade and loved the class

I selected the Social Skills and Dining Etiquette Program for my son. He had a great experience and loved his teacher very much. The teacher is an elegant lady and she is professional.
