How to Contact a Certified Handwriting Teacher Through IIHS
Updated
The International Institute of Handwriting Studies (IIHS) provides a direct entry point for finding a Certified Handwriting Teacher: the "contact a Certified teacher" link on its homepage. Use this route if you want to work with an instructor trained in Vimala Rodgers' method rather than browse general handwriting resources. The site itself does not list individual teachers on the pages shown, so the link is the starting point for getting connected.
What "Certified Handwriting Teacher" Means at IIHS
Certification is tied to Vimala Rodgers' advanced courses. According to the site, a student who graduates from those courses must then:
- Create a project based on what they learned.
- Have that project approved by Vimala.
Only after meeting this criteria does the graduate attain certification as an authorized Handwriting Instructor. This matters if you are choosing a teacher: the title reflects completed advanced coursework plus an approved project, not just attendance at a general course.
How to Reach a Certified Teacher
- Go to the IIHS homepage (iihs.com).
- Select "contact a Certified teacher" from the main navigation or homepage links.
- Follow the contact path provided there to request a teacher or ask about availability.
The site also offers a general "Get In Touch" page and an email option in its FAQ section for questions that the teacher-contact route does not answer.
If You Want to Verify or Learn More First
Two other site sections help you judge fit before reaching out:
| Section | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| About Vimala Rodgers | Background on the method's originator — described as an educator, handwriting expert, and brain/hand researcher |
| Books by IIHS Graduates | Examples of the projects graduates completed for certification |
| Testimonials | Client comments, including one from author Louise L. Hay |
| FAQs | Common questions, with an email option if yours isn't listed |
Practical Notes
- The site does not publish a directory of individual teachers with names, locations, or rates on the pages shown, so expect to make contact and ask.
- No pricing or login requirements are stated in the available site content; confirm any fees or scheduling terms directly with the teacher you contact.
- If your question is about the method or certification rather than finding a teacher, the FAQ and "Get In Touch" routes are the better fit.
