I offer a series of eight one-hour classes in beginner bridge and a number of classes on various topics of intermediate bridge. I use the Zoom.com meeting software with very clear instruction and sample hands utilizing PowerPoint presentations. I also use the Bridgebase software game to monitor and comment on actual play.

Ken is an excellent teacher that anyone is lucky to find as a teacher in the game of bridge.

Ken has been instrumental in taking my game to a higher level. He's very easy to understand. He is an incredible teacher. His hand outs and power points are clear and so easy to learn from. He answers all questions presented to him with expertise and education.

Bridge lessons for dummies!

Ken is super helpful in making bridge accessible to folks with limited car playing knowledge. His step-by-step approach is just what we need to learn to play this complex game.

SETH, 7 lessons with Ken

Very Clear teaching and process

Ken is a great tutor. My husband and I have enjoyed our lessons with Ken. He comes very prepared and is easy to follow and understand. We look forward to more lessons.

Patricia, 4 lessons with Ken

Knowledgeable and organized tutor.

His card hands and main points were in a visual format and were also emailed to me so I can review them anytime. I learned how to approach the play of no trump and suit hands which I am somewhat weak at. I also learned when to lead with trumps and when to wait.

Such a good teacher!

He is thorough and well prepared. Ken takes the time to know where you are and what you need to move forward. I'm grateful to have found him! Bridge can be complicated and convoluted - Ken makes it clear and understandable.

Always interesting.

Ken is teaching us Bridge. We have had 6 lessons so far. He is always interesting, patient and knowledgeable. He makes sense of difficult bids. We never expected such good instruction, and always look forward to our lessons.

Excellent bridge tutor

We have never played bridge. Ken was very patient and extremely well prepared. His slide presentation was extremely helpful. We will be taking additional lessons.
