Savoir-faire is the knowledge of just what to do in any situation; tact. Savoir-vivre is the knowledge of the world and the ways or usages of polite society.

All aspects of daily life are subject to refining if one wants to become a sophisticated gentleman or lady. But it is never too late. Etiquette and good manners can be taught and learned. Let us show you the way.
