Private Bridge Teacher

Whether you are looking to learn a new system, gain master points, or master the basics of this most wonderful game, I am here to accelerate your growth.

My primary system is 2/1, but I also play precision and standard american. I also know pretty much every convention out there if you want to pick up some new gadgets.

About Aaron

Hi there, my name is Aaron and I specialize in online bridge lessons.

I have played bridge since I was a teenager (20+ years), and have played well over 1 million hands over this time period. I am continually honing my own game via Bridgebase.com (handle = aceman34), arguably the best teaching tool out there.

I generally prefer online lessons because I find my students are more engaged and focused. I have a unique teaching process that I use to help unlock your greatest talents.

Often, the first thing I do each morning is to play a few hands of bridge with my coffee. I look forward to teaching you the secrets of winning bridge, whether you are just starting out or farther along in your journey.

Aaron has been teaching my 9 year old son chess lessons. After several months with a weekly lesson, my wife and I are very pleased with his progress. At first we had our doubts about whether online classes would work. The truth is that we are very satisfied because the use of technology added interest for my son in learning. Aaron is very patient and makes the lessons enjoyable, with some humor. He has a teaching method that combines strategy and theory with a love for the game. That is the magic of learning and is the key to advance one's knowledge of any discipline. Now we play more and more competitive matches and his progress is very noticeable. We also appreciate Aaron's feedback about how each lesson went and tips to work on during the week to reinforce what was learned.

Private Bridge Teacher

A passion for bridge with extensive knowledge of the game.

About Ryan

I've been playing and teaching the game of bridge for the past 26 years. I love this game, and I love introducing it to others so they can share in the joy of bridge. I've taught people from age 8 to age 88 and everywhere in between. My goal is to make the lessons fun because this is a game, and the only reason to play a game is to have fun.

Tad H.

Private Bridge Teacher

I love to teach what Eddie Kantar calls "thinking bridge". One of the aspects of thinking bridge is ability to count hands: distribution of suits and points.

Another, is learning DEFENSE. Every bridge player, on an average, defends 50% of a time, declares 25%, and does nothing another 25%.

My gurus are above mentioned Eddie Kantar and Mike Lawrence.

About Tad

Tad, a licensed Professional Engineer, is an avid bridge player, member of the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) since 1981, ACBL Accredited Teacher and Club Director, holding a rank of a Silver Life Master (SLM), and consistently placing in tournaments and club games.

In high school, he was a successful Math tutor. Later, while in college, he taught high school Physics. Now, he shares his bridge expertise.

Tad teaches bridge players of all ages and skill levels, using his years of experience combined with the ability to convey advanced bridge in an easy to understand way. He is patient, applies Logical Thinking, discipline, and most importantly, fun, to guide his student’s decision-making process at a bridge table, to success.

He works with individual players, small groups and large classes offering short term and longer mu

lti-week courses. Tad can also provide single-topic sessions, one-on-one meetings, on-demand classes and general bridge discussions. In addition, he is available for club or tournament play including “post-mortem” analysis and commentary.

For advanced players, Tad offers lessons to:
• improve their defense and declarer’s play
• help mastering conventions they use
• add and adopt new conventions
• create a bidding system for a budding partnership.
If you are willing to devote time on consistent basis, then you will succeed!

As with anything else, practice makes perfect. The ever evolving, complex game of bridge is an inexpensive hobby as well as a social vehicle to meet many people from all walks of life.

ENJOY and HAVE FUN!!!
