The only constant to Sara Jane Ho's – the host of Netflix's Mind Your Manners – philosophy of social graces is to be considerate of others.
On the ninth day of filming Netflix’s Mind Your Manners, the show’s host, Shanghai etiquette teacher Sara Jane Ho, dumped her on-again-off-again boyfriend of four years in a text message. Ho, a preternaturally poised 37-year-old who grew up on four continents and can eat a sunny-side-up egg without spilling a single drop of yolk, was in a car outside Sydney, Australia, in late 2021, on her way to perform a “Pygmalion”-style makeover for a party girl named Stephanie Osifo.
“It’s probably not the best etiquette to break up through a text message,” Ho acknowledged, noting that the pair had discussed the possibility many times.Rebecca Lim got us obsessing over pretty dresses with pockets: Here are 8 places to shop for these The first episode shows Ho in a rainbow of impeccable outfits and shifting languages as she coaches a diverse cast on table manners, dress codes and self-improvement. Standing in pink puff sleeves under a parasol, she guides an archery lesson; in a cerulean sheath dress with a mandarin collar, she demonstrates how to peel a banana with a fork and knife.
Created by a Singaporean production company with international audiences in mind, Mind Your Manners was initially supposed to shoot in Shanghai, where Ho lives and runs Institute Sarita, the charm school she founded in 2012. With a curriculum that includes courses with names including “British Afternoon Tea,” “Pronunciation of Foreign Luxury Brands” and “Introduction to Expensive Sports,” Ho initially catered to nouveau riche Chinese interested in learning Western-style snobbery.
Ho speaks with the astonishingly posh, vaguely British accent of a person whose origin is less a place than an international pedigree. A native of Hong Kong whose father worked in oil exploration, Ho grew up in Papua New Guinea, Taiwan, Britain and the United States, where she was a boarding student at Phillips Exeter Academy. She graduated from Georgetown University in 2008, and was working on Wall Street when the stock market crashed.
Because of China’s COVID lockdowns, they postponed the wedding, which Ho hopes to host in her husband’s hometown, Lishui, where the couple lives part time. She recently recruited a native speaker of her husband’s local dialect for virtual tutoring; she now speaks to her mother-in-law in her native tongue.
