Each course will be taught by Myka Meier and her team, as well as guest experts.

While all courses are based on Western (American, British and European fundamentals) etiquette and taught in English, the programs were created to be exciting, interactive and modern to reflect today’s global society.

Beaumont Etiquette was founded in Kensington, London, just steps away from many historic British Royal Palaces and residences.
