    Karl is a knowledgeable, patient, and excellent bridge instructor. He is skilled at conveying information. With his guidance and materials, I rapidly progressed. I highly recommend him.

    Karl explains the logic behind the play. So, you don't need to memorize as much and can play with spontaneity. His notes are concise and easy to follow. The takelessons platform offers seamless audiovisual. It's easy to forget you're learning online.
