“My children participated in Proper Way Academy’s inaugural class. They thoroughly enjoyed the group and looked forward to each course. We saw immediate application of the skills they learned in class and they showed great enthusiasm when they shared their experience with family and friends. Ms Herrera has the relevant expertise, demeanor and patience to work effectively with children and youth in a way that is both educational and entertaining. Thank you Proper Way Academy for offering such an excellent service and experience for our family.”

“I planned an office team building event with Monica where all my teammates took the Etiquette class and it was a blast! Everyone in my team learned and enjoyed the class! Monica is very knowledgeable and she personalized the class for my team. We all learned the rules of etiquette. She even tough us how to behave with people from other cultures when it comes to a business setting. I highly recommend this class for adults (and kids since my kids also took the class and my kids really enjoyed it as well). My team enjoyed it so much that they are already thinking about taking a second class with her!!! Thanks Monica for the class. We all loved it!”

“I immediately noticed a change in my child’s behavior. He’s become mindful of his table manners, and self aware - looking at people in the eye when shaking their hand. Monica is fantastic with children, I highly recommend her courses”

“My 7 year old daughter attended this program and really enjoyed it. She now loves to show off her manners during mealtime, proper ways to use utensils, etc., and she wants to help with setting the table!”

“My second grade daughter recently finished her first set of etiquette lessons with Monica. She absolutely loved it!! She couldn’t wait to go to class each week. I was very impressed with the material covered in her classes as well: proper introductions, eye contact while speaking, thank you notes, continental and American style dining etiquette...and so much more. Such important life skills to be teaching our children. Thank you, Monica, for the fabulous experience!”

“My 7 y/o daughter completed the 1st-5th Grade program with Proper Way Academy. She really enjoyed it and looked forward to each lesson. She would come home and show off what she learned, and correct her big brother! She is an eater, and some times stuffs food in her face like we have been starving her. Instead of nagging her to eat the right way, now we ask her if that is how Mrs. Monica taught her to eat? She laughs and then corrects her way of eating. She definitely prefers to listen to Mrs. Monica over Mommy and Daddy! And she made a new friend from the class :)”

“Proper Way Academy is the perfect opportunity to help reinforce and learn new manners, which can be applied with confidence at the table and when communicating with others. I have seen all these in my daughter who recently took the 1st to 5th grade program. It was a great experience! The instructor is very sweet, kind, caring, and formal. I highly recommend Proper Way Academy!”

“I took the Proper Way Academy class for adults and absolutely loved it!!! The class went above and beyond my expectations. It was eye-opening, culturally-relevant, enriching and a lot of fun. Monica’s life experience and expertise in the subject as well as her love and passion for teaching the class shined through! Also, the office is beautiful. I highly recommend this class!”
— Lunita B., Bentonville, AR.
“I loved the sessions! Monica has an exquisite way to present and walk us through the different etiquette rules. It is a great opportunity to do something fun and interesting with friends.”

“We have been in search of a class or opportunity for our 6 year old daughter to learn basic etiquette and manners. Some of the classes we’ve looked at start at much older age. I happened to see a FB post about a summer camp at Proper Way Academy for younger ages and immediately signed our her up. My first impression of the academy was very pleasant. You walk into a small sitting area and immediately see the “classroom” dining table. Everything was clean and properly cared for. We met Ms Monica who was very well put together, very proper and polished. It meant for me that this academy was serious about its teachings. I was pleasantly surprised by the lessons that were taught. We asked our daughter throughout the week what she was learning and we thought she had some great takeaways. She reported that she tried new foods and learned she now likes a new vegetable! The final day of camp we were even more impressed, as the parents were asked to come early to find out what they had worked on all week and we (as parents) even learned something new. I would highly recommend Proper Way Academy (camp or classes) as Ms Monica teaches to anyone. They have lessons for every age. We look forward to future camps!”
