   If you want to polish up your game with the finer points, my advanced-intermediate classes are just what you are looking for. You can jazz-up your BIDDING STYLE with the most popular conventions, Stayman, Jacoby, and Gerber. You can improve your DEFENSIVE SKILLS with lessons on Defensive Signals and Strategies.

   If you already play Bridge but would like to improve your game, these sessions offer you the opportunity to practice what you have learned. Repetition will allow you to brush up on the finer points, develop a comfortable bidding style, and build confidence in your play.

   Each 2 1/2 hour session provides the opportunity to master an advanced subject with the cards in your hands. You learn by doing, so you spend your session playing hands and discussing them immediately after you finish. I do not just show you what to do, I tell you why. Understanding the reason behind the rule makes remembering much easier.

   One of the most valuable and unique features of The Bridge School program is my "Single Session" format. No registration or advanced payment is necessary. You are not committed to a series of lessons. Come when you want and pay when you come.

   Below you will find a weekly schedule of subjects.

EVERY TUESDAY from 7:30 - 10:00 pm.
