All my online lessons are more than just lectures. I give an engaging explanation of the
day's topic; then you play deals to practice what you're learning in my awesome
Shark Bridge classroom. Afterwards, you see all four hands as I review the best techniques.
In addition to my scheduled lessons, I have several courses you can take
on your own time, complete with practice deals and video!

"Points & Pointers" on Shark Bridge
I’m excited to offer a new learning and playing experience online! The Shark Bridge app/website now awards ACBL master points, and offers
a wonderful opportunity for me to teach while you play and win points!
In two upcoming games this winter, you'll play 12 boards with your
partner with master points awarded to the high finishers. Between
rounds, the game will pause while I give pointers on the hands you just played. Your opponents will be robots (same opponents and same
hands at every table!) but you will need a human partner. If you don’t
have one, let me know and I’ll connect you with a partner in advance!
Or come as a single and be matched 30 minutes before game time.
Cost will be just 10 SB credits, or about $10. Click on a date to register.
