Private Lessons

Take Dining Confidence to the Next Level

For families looking for a more personalized etiquette experience, Private Guided Dining Lessons offer children and teens the opportunity to learn and practice modern dining etiquette, social confidence, and conversation skills in a real-world dining environment.

While my signature Breaking Bread workshops provide a wonderful foundation in dining etiquette through a small-group experience, these private lessons offer an even more individualized approach. Limited to just one to three participants, children receive personalized coaching, immediate feedback, and the opportunity to move at a pace that best suits their needs.

Private Guided Dining Lessons are also a fantastic next step for Breaking Bread graduates who are ready to take their learning one step further. The country club setting provides access to a wider variety of menu options, more advanced dining scenarios, and additional opportunities to refine etiquette skills in a professional dining environment.

Participants enjoy a full multi-course meal with professional service while practicing everything from ordering and conversation skills to proper utensil use, table manners, and dining confidence. The smaller setting allows for deeper discussion, individualized guidance, and more opportunities to master the subtle social skills that help children feel comfortable and capable in a variety of settings.

Whether your child is preparing for family celebrations, private club events, travel, leadership opportunities, special occasions, or simply wants to feel more confident at any table, these lessons provide practical skills that will serve them for years to come.

Held in a beautiful Lakeway-based country club setting, each lesson combines personalized instruction with a memorable dining experience designed to help children feel polished, prepared, and at ease in social situations.
