Jill Pfeiffer started her etiquette school in 2013 offering classes to children and adults in social and dining etiquette.  To complement her etiquette course offerings, Jill introduced The Diablo Valley Cotillion, a social dance and etiquette program for 7th and 8th graders in the East Bay.

Jill was trained at The Etiquette and Leadership Institute in Athens, Georgia. At The Institute, where Jill earned certification as a Children’s Etiquette Consultant, she developed skills and techniques designed to inspire and engage children and adults as they learn social etiquette, dining etiquette, and social dance.  Jill has furthered her training by attending The Napa Valley Wine Academy to earn certification from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust, and by completing certification at Elmwood Inn Fine Teas in Kentucky, to become a certified Tea & Etiquette Consultant.

Jill has taught classes to Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, National Charity League, Boys Team Charity, San Ramon Valley Christian Academy After School Enrichment, Dorris-Eaton School, Town of Danville Recreation Department, Round Hill Country Club, Shengmeng Education Center, and Kings Land Chess Academy.  She has taught private lessons and small group classes in restaurants, country clubs, and private homes.  A custom class can be created to meet the needs of a specific group.

  Children and adults are often intimidated by etiquette. The goal of Jill Pfeiffer Etiquette School is to change that misconception. “The foundation of etiquette is about kindness towards others,” explains Jill. “When children and adults learn about etiquette from the perspective of being kind, it loses the intimidation factor.”
