My name is Sun Moritz and I am head of The London Reception Academy. I was lucky enough to start my corporate career in reception. The experience gave me many transferable skills and before I realised, I was head receptionist for a marketing company. I acquired all the tricks of the trade and my new found confidence helped me secure more exciting roles further in my career.
I have always felt passionate about being a receptionist since starting my career at the age of 17 for a very large company. Everyone knew who I was and so much was relied upon me being at my best!
Here I will teach you many skills required to master the role of a receptionist including the following:
1. Speaking in the correct way.
2. Presenting yourself on reception.
3. How to present an air of confidence to those around you.
4. Handling conflict when on the phone and face to face.
5. Building trust quickly with a difficult person.
6. Managing different behaviours.
7. Sharpening your listening skills.
8. Mastering attention to detail.
9. Learning how to spin many plates by becoming efficient whilst maintaining a calm composure.
10. Supporting you through a number of exercises giving you clarity of what's required in the role.
Most importantly, it is key to enjoy the process yet maintain a professional demeanour when placed at front of house reception. From acorns grow oak trees and reception may only be the start for you. A receptionist is such a vital role in any organisation so ensure you have your notebook, an open mind, a willingness to learn and a determination to succeed!
See you in class!!

Sun Moritz
I have been a reception and customer service trainer for over 5 years and have successfully run academies in London for the Miss Reception Training Academy and The London Reception Academy. I have helped and supported people from all walks of life to master how to become a professional receptionist and how to find employment in this field. I pride myself on excellence and look to instil this within this training.
I have always been passionate about reception as this is where I started at the tender age of 15. I have been fortunate to work for some truly prestigious companies from merchant banks to media firms, advertising, marketing, insurance and telecoms to name just a few.
Reception was just the start for me as I progressed to other roles such as Personal Assistant and Manager. I opened my first recruitment agency in 2000 and spent many years recruiting receptionists for a variety of roles.
The training academies were born purely from a client asking if one of our receptionists had been on a course because she was so excellent! The light bulb went off and Miss Reception was born.
The success of Miss Reception helped launched The London Reception Academy in 2008 and we have never looked back. It has been truly remarkable to see people from all over the world come through our doors and leave transformed.

Outstanding! Ms. Sun did a wonderful job teaching the role of reception! From what is a Receptionist. Your appearance (first impressions) Speech (your grammar, spellingn exercises ). The art and study of effective speaking over the phone. Clear pronunciation, voice control (pitch and tone). Customer Service over the phone was very valuable. Answering the phone (effective listening, asking open & close questions is what I really needed to hear and I took notes. I also took away a lot of information on the Reception Interview. THANK YOU!

I was recently invited back in my role of Staff Operations. I took this course as a refresher and it not only helped me refresh my skills in that area, the course reminded me of things I needed to do as a professional. The course helped me realize areas where I have become laxed and in and I appreciate it.

Since starting this course, I’ve found myself sitting up straighter and paying closer attention to my appearance, including ensuring my wardrobe is neat and presentable. The early sections have already inspired me to take pride in how I present myself. I’m thoroughly enjoying the course—it emphasizes the importance of the receptionist role and highlights many subtle yet essential details that are often overlooked.

Yes, it's a great match it taught me to working with people, organized, and want to develop skills in communication, customer service, and office management. It’s also a good choice I'm looking to build a foundation in administrative work or grow into my office roles.

This was an excellent course. I am a phlebotomist who has had a couple of years off from running a patient service center. I decided that I wanted to try medical reception and Medical Administrative Assistant duties, but found that I was outdated as far as polish on the reception end. I decided to combine my medical background, increase my skill level in the administrative area, and take a load of new classes to do something new! I was super impressed with Sun's delivery and professionalism during this course. She delivers in a clear and concise language, is warm and friendly, super encouraging, and hits all of the key areas you will encounter. The scenarios provided give you a visual and mental picture of what you need to be profficient in. I think that anyone that works with the public, not just receptionists can gain valuable communication skills for the workplace from this course. Thank you for presenting such a delightful, thorough learning experience!

Impressive. Ms. Moritz is phenomenal. This course is a must have for all incoming admins. The basic principles are thoughtfully explained and allow for retrospective analysis of self without direct criticism. I love it and will recommend to newcomers in this field.
By Monica Wright on 9/26/2022
Very informative and broken down well. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in this field of work. I will mention, some of the answer sheets provided don't match with the work sheets provided. But if you can look past that, then this will be an engaging and enjoyable training. Thanks.
By Pisenny Xiong on 7/21/2022
The course was very informative. I like her explanation of why doing a certain thing is very important, even if it's as simple as saying thank you or smiling, because these simple actions can leave a big impact on how your customer/client will feel. The course gives good examples of how to do something better, and how to handle different situations. There's a career & experience section at the end, which is great and shows that she cares about what she is teaching.
