Working with Mari has been a delight over the past two years. She has been an excellent source of knowledge of Japanese etiquette and protocol and has remotely assisted us with projects in the UK, as well delivered training to several clients of The English Manner - always receiving excellent feedback. Mari's work ethic is unquestioned and she always goes above and beyond to deliver for us. Thank you!

The international protocol training taught me global communication and gave me the further upper hand to behave as the head of a very prestigious company. You cannot learn this from books or the internet. I consider Murata Sensei's guidance to be strict and precise, high standard top coaching. I could feel a great change in myself. I believe this is something that other coaches cannot do. We look forward to further guidance from her.

I had studied protocol before from another instructor, so I had an image of that, but it's totally different! Murata-sensei is outstanding. She has taught me a grade above in business, diplomacy and behaviour, and I will continue to improve.

In this international society, I am convinced that international protocol is essential for people at the top of companies. I myself have had the opportunity to meet the Prime Minister of Malaysia, the Thai Royal Family and other people at national representative level, and I firmly believe that this is what I needed to learn. Thanks to Murata Sensei's guidance, which was tougher than I expected, it has motivated me and has been a great learning experience. I would like to continue learning.

I thought that this education is necessary not only for people working in companies, but also for children in this global society. I felt that we are getting better and better ourselves by acquiring knowledge and education. I would like to learn a lot more in the future.

I thought that international education is also necessary for leadership in doctors' work. I was surprised at how much I didn't know about so many things. It is the best self-improvement.

I was able to spend very intensive study time and the month from the start to the end of the course was very fulfilling. I would like to continue learning at the intermediate and advanced levels and become a communicator of this learning.

Recommendation. 'All the things I thought I knew but didn't'. Of course if you are involved internationally, but even if you are not, I think you will need it in the future.

I felt that no one could give me a better answer than Murata-sensei, who is backed by experience, offers personalised solutions, gives suggestions to help me visualise where I want to go, and has the power to support my growth.

The intermediate level is much more powerful than the beginner level and has given me more and deeper learning and confidence. It really confirms that learning about etiquette and manners and culture is an important thing in life.

This was no run-of-the-mill etiquette school! Murata Sensei is a wonderful person who you can really trust, both as an instructor and as a woman, because she is on the axis and never wavers.

Thanks in part to Murata-sensei, two out of the four students exceeded their target of over 700 scores! Both the recipients and the students were very happy. We are very pleased to report that the lessons were well received and easy to understand.

おかげさまで目標点700点を超えました。村田先生の素晴らしいご指導の賜物です。特に先生の発音がきれいで、徹底した文法のご指導も素晴らしかったです。たったの10日間ですが、もっと学びたいと思いました。

村田先生は英語の知識はもちろんの事、国の違いによるイントネーションの違いや文化までご存知で驚かされました‼︎リスニングからリーディング、英作文など繰り返し実践して頂き、90分のレッスン時間があっという間に終わりました。“ローマは1日にしてならず”

Despite the limited time, thanks to the well-designed curriculum, we were able to learn in a short time the minimum required in the field. It was not only classroom learning, but we also practised how to stand and escort in person, which gave us good practice in advance.
