I see the joy that Etiquette and Riandi has brought in her life. She has gained a good friend teacher that loves and has blessed her. She has become more confident with people and has a good posture.”
R Nayar
“Shalini has spoken very highly of you, she enjoys her time in etiquette and the fashion show today was a wonderful opportunity for her and the other girls. Thank you for organising a lovely function. It was all very enjoyable and the guest speaker was an inspiration particularly on an occasion like today.”
A Julie
“Thank you so much! The girls are looking forward to working with you again next year. Thank you for all your patience and love for our girls. You are fantastic! ”
Kate Marsay, Dynasty
“There has been a notable change in Lebo; she is looking and presenting herself so professionally. This will do wonders for her career, she is already sitting at the reception desk fulltime now.Thank you again for your assistance in this matter.”
J Bendag
“My daughter attended the first year basic course of etiquette classes and LOVED it! She is continuing in the second year and still loves it... She comes home each week and shows our family how to do all of the things that she learned. Her confidence is growing every week. Feedback is sent on e-mail after each class that really helps to understand what she is learning and how we could do things at home to help her perfect these skills. Every child should attend classes at the The SA Etiquette Academy to learn and enjoy basic and often times overlooked etiquette techniques. I highly recommend Riandi and her team. I know they all have a blast and learn lots!”
V. Ghorbany
“My daughter took your beginner course in 2017 and enjoyed it thoroughly. As a 13 year old she said it taught her to be more self-confident, how to present herself in the best way and valuable life skills that she will carry with her into the future. She loved taking part in the fashion show at Emperor's Palace and already recommended your academy to her family and friends, some of whom enrolled this year. Thank you for having such a comprehensive program that give young girls/boys and teenagers such a lovely foundation and stepping stone to build on. We wish you all the best for the future and highly recommend your academy to anyone interested. Riandi, your lovely nature is a definite asset to your academy and your are always such a pleasure to deal with.”
Tracy
“My niece is now in her 2nd year of attending Etiquette Academy SA and she loves it! Over a year ago I told her she needed classes to learn to be a lady - the very next week she brought home a pamphlet to the Academy, I signed her up immediately. She loves it and her confidence has increased over the past year as she has walked down the modeling ramp twice and also had beautiful photos taken. She also reminds us time and time again… no, that’s not how you do it. Thank you Riandi, Josslin adores you.”
R Govender
“A special thank and ‘congratulations’ is deserved by you. You have helped make our little girl shine this past weekend. Jaiya has grown leaps and bounds this year and some of it is especially due to you and the Etiquette course.”
K. Mc Callum
“My daughter has had the absolute pleasure of going to etiquette classes once a week. She has been gifted with ways on how to treat people and how to behave in certain situations. My daughter has become my best critic, often correcting my approach to the way I want do things. During etiquette classes there is a very subtle but powerful focus on self-esteem and this of course has impacted positively on my daughters confidence. My daughter loves attending etiquette classes as it is her time to enjoy the beautiful friendship between herself, Riandi and the other young ladies as well as for the fun and laughter. All young people should attend etiquette classes as I do believe they assist with all life's lessons. ”
Nick
“Elizabeth has been doing etiquette since January 2017. Every Thursday she can’t wait to tell me what they covered during their afternoon etiquette session. Three things have stood out for me over the last year and a couple of months. Firstly, how much Elizabeth loves etiquette and in particular Riandi as a role model in her life. Secondly, I have seen a vast change in her confidence as a young lady, which I believe has been, as a result of all she learns and the “building up” she receives at etiquette. Finally, the outreaches, fashion shows and photo-shoots have exposed Elizabeth to new areas in her life and is helping become a more balanced person. Elizabeth love etiquette and I can see the positive impact it is having on her, I highly recommend etiquette.”
Chamell Moss
Graduate Level 3
“ Personally I had struggled with self-confidence for most of my adolescent years, but with the caring help from Riandi I was able to overcome that. Today I am able to speak in front of large crowds, I am able to walk with confidence, I have been taught the correct etiquette for all situations that I could ever possibly face and I have learnt many valuable skills that I can apply in my everyday life as well as in a business setting.”
S Peterson
“It was a beautiful graduation ceremony and Hannah loved it! She took her certificates, medal, trophy and sash to school yesterday for “show and tell”.”
