Described by The Telegraph as ‘the empress of etiquette’, Jo joined The English Manner in 2019 from Debrett’s, where she spent over a decade as a tutor and the editor of more than fifteen acclaimed books on etiquette and modern manners.

Jo has worked with leading restaurant and hospitality groups, luxury retail brands, top concierge agencies and exclusive education specialists, along with private clients from all over the world.

Practical and full of valuable insights that I can apply both professionally and personally. I’m truly grateful for the experience and would highly recommend The English Manner to anyone looking to develop their etiquette and professional skills.

The class was very welcoming and the learning sophisticated. I would definitely recommend it for business purposes or just purely improving yourself and feel better about it. William was funny and engaging; Jo was polished and professional. I will definitely book more sessions in the future.
