Bridge takes an investment of time to learn, but once you do, you'll be rewarded with
a lifetime of fun mental challenges, social gatherings with friends old and new, and
lots of entertainment. Three Great Reasons to Play Bridge -- Click Here!
Learn to Play Bridge Online!
YES! You can learn to play online! Since Fall 2020, Kim has taught over 1,500 new players our
wonderful game! We see and hear each other via Zoom, then you will play the game at virtual
card tables in my amazing online classroom. I will walk you through every step in a fun-filled
environment. In these classes you learn by actually playing, not just listening to lectures.
My methods are successful in turning you into a bridge player -- just ask any recent graduate!

Students are requested to purchase a bridge guide book* (available online for about $10) which
we will refer to in class and which contains excellent practice exercises.
Bridge is played by two partners against another pair, so bring a partner (or a foursome!) if you can.
Singles are welcome and will be paired up in class.
At the conclusion of the course, I offer opportunities for follow-up classes for practice and further
skill-building. I also help match partners and foursomes to play for fun!
Registration is now open, click here.
*The book is Bridge Basics 1 - An Introduction by Audrey Grant. Many used copies available on Amazon too!
PS -- I expect that some students might have to miss a class, and I provide homework and web-based
resources to help you catch up. However, signing up for this course means a commitment to attend all the lessons
as best you can, as the learning is progressive and you will fall too far behind if you miss multiple lessons.
If you live within driving distance of Newton, MA, my next in-person Beginner class will be on Monday evenings, Oct. 20 - Nov. 17. Email me for details: kgilman11@gmail.com.
