Hello and Welcome,

I am fifth generation Washingtonian with a passion for life. Back in the early eighty's I opened an etiquette school briefly, but then needed to close it to focus on my family. Now I'm bringing my love for manners back in full force. I served as a private etiquette instructor and volunteer etiquette teacher to low-income middle school students at the Washington Jesuit Academy for 10 years and am currently providing services at the St. Ignatius Loyola Academy. I operate on one key principle: it’s not where you come from or what you have, it’s how you treat people that matters. My lessons include table manners, how to write a letter, telephone manners, good grooming, how to shine a shoe, earning parent's respect, electronic etiquette and much more.

Before setting out on a quest to better the young men and women of Washington, DC, I have been an actress and model since the late seventies, appearing in countless print and television spots. I also broke ground as part of the first group of women allowed to serve on the DC police force, working as a DC policewoman from 1975-1979. Today, I work with Lauren Green Agency (New York) and T.H.E. (DC).
                                                             
I look forward to hearing from you soon!


Sincerely,

Marianne Brennan
