Marie Hornback was the Instructor that I completed Michael Sull's American Cursive Certification with in Denver, CO 2016. She was a gracious hostess that greeted us all personally our first day for the two day conference. Marie's teaching approach was congenial, clear and well organized. She was very receptive to the questions from attendees throughout the two days. Marie demonstrated methods appropriate for teaching students (from her own personal experience) that I found to be so useful and rewarding. She has continued to be a support to my own teaching. Plus I really love her voice. Very relaxing.

Marie is an AMAZING teacher!!! The class was fun and thorough! She was very detailed while explaining steps to master cursive handwriting. I feel so comfortable after her 4 lessons that I could now reach out and help others learn cursive handwriting! She went above and beyond by reviewing excellent writing instruments and yummy papers that help enhance the writing experience. I can’t recommend her classes enough!!!

Extensive handwriting knowledge and the teaching style was playful as well as comprehensive. I would definitely take another course.

As a teacher of young students, my heart longed to know more about American Cursive. Marie Hornback offered the expert instruction and thoughtful guidance I needed to pass this art form on to future generations in my classroom. Certification in American Cursive has changed the game!

Marie is a fabulous teacher! I have loved taking classes with her and would highly recommend her for both adult and children!! 🙌🏼

You are patient, kind and compassionate about teaching Cursive handwriting. You have excellent concise handouts. I find that your Certification workbook is my "go-to" book for teaching my first student, Avi. Your teaching delivery and style is crystal clear and I love that about you. You make me feel welcome to ask you questions and I know about that, you are sincere. I'm very proud that I received my certification from you. Thank you.

Marie is such an awesome and gracias person! We love having her come teach at our business. I look forward to it every year!

Marie is very prompt in her responses to requests. She is one of the most polite people you will ever meet! She came and taught multiple classes at our office and it was such an enjoyable time. Her way of teaching is informative, creative and entertaining. She has experience and is a wealth of knowledge, always more than happy to help with any questions.

Confidence and Competence.

Learning American Cursive gave me the confidence to give back to the underserviced community as I have wanted to for years. I always talked about teaching those who really needed the skill to write and therefore to read, but never did until I learned how to from Marie. She gave me confidence.

I have attended calligraphy classes over the years. Marie Hornback is a teacher, competent, and patient. Her style is without pretense and easy. When I didn't understand an approach, she found another, or another, until her intent was fully received, all the while patiently executed.

I keep coming back, even though now I teach American Cursive, because Marie has so much too offer. Thank you for the opportunity to share my experiences.
