I am excited to return to in-person teaching this Fall & Winter while continuing with
online bridge classes! All my lessons are more than just lectures. I give an engaging
explanation of the day's topic, but then you will play deals to practice what you're learning.
Afterwards, you see all four hands as I review the best techniques.
