You already have something people need: a beautiful hand. Turn it into your own classes, your own hours and your own income. No boss, no middleman. Just you and the learners who choose you.
Download the style verification sheets, print them, and sit down with a pen. Every independent teacher starts here.
Write the sheets by hand and take your time. We use them to verify your styles, such as print and cursive. They are part of your application.
Send your style sheets with your application, then complete the course to become Calista Certified. Students message you directly and you set your own fees.
You can still be listed without the badge and start teaching on your own terms. Your style sheets from step 2 are still needed, so we can verify your styles.
Calista Certified is more than neat letters. You will learn how to teach, how to reassure parents and how to find your own students, so your classroom can stand on its own.
