Private Classes
A class of your own.
Some families would rather gather a few children around their own table. A private session brings the same curriculum, the same certified instruction, and the same certificate — to your home, your club, or wherever you'd like to hold it.
What's Included
The same program, at your table.

The Investment
$850
One 90-minute class for up to four children, including all materials and certificates.
Travel within 30 miles of the instructor is included. Beyond that, a flat $75 travel fee applies. Additional classes may be booked at the same rate.
Why Families Choose It
An occasion, not just a lesson.
Gathering three friends turns a lesson into an occasion. Children learn more readily among people they know, and the conversation practice comes easily when there's already something to talk about.
A private class also moves at your pace. If your children need more time on the place setting and less on thank-you notes, Marita will adjust. In a class of sixteen, she cannot.
And it travels. Birthdays, holiday gatherings, the weekend before a family wedding — the class arrives wherever the occasion is.
How to Arrange One
Four steps from inquiry to certificates.
- Write to us with the date you have in mind, roughly where you are, and how many children.
- We'll confirm availability and send a short agreement with the date, fee, and details.
- Marita arrives thirty minutes early to set the table.
- Certificates are presented at the end, and the room is left as we found it.
