Lessons in 2010/11

We are currently putting our lesson schedule together for 2010/11. Please contact us for more details @ tim@sjwbc.co.uk.

Lessons

As bridge is a game for four players we have found that lessons work best for small groups. The teaching elements can then be reinforced with immediate practice. Each of our courses (beginner, developer, intermediate) consists of a series of eight lessons covering different aspects of the game. Lessons last two hours and involve formal tuition and table practice.

Supervised Practice

As a supplement to formal lessons, or simply as an aid to players already familiar with the game, there is nothing quite like playing real hands. Whether participating or simply standing ready to answer questions our teachers will ensure that the learning points encountered from hand to hand are identified and taken on board. Each supervised group is encouraged to develop at its own pace. We are happy to provide pre-dealt hands to emphasise certain themes or simply take things as they come from deals arising at the table.

Private Coaching

As players develop their skills they will each find different aspects of the game which particularly interest them. For some it may be esoteric playing techniques, for others it may be the psychological aspects of dealing with partners and opponents, or perhaps the mathematical aspects of probability theory. We see our coaching service as an opportunity for people to explore, in-depth, any aspect of the game.
