Online Bridge Classes

I have no specific experience with any of these classes or instructors, so this list is purely to provide a starting point for your personal review. Read the information provided, search for online reviews, and then decide whether the course/instructor is right for you.

  • The American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) provides an introductory beginner-level course. The ACBL Intro to Bridge course provides all the basics for new players.
  • SharkBridge, the bridge teaching software provider to the ACBL, has identified some candidate online bridge teachers. Several of the teachers listed are famous for their playing and teaching skills.
  • One particular online teacher identified by SharkBridge, Silvana Moricia, has received several awards and good reviews.
  • Allen Smith, a bridge teacher with the Southeast Carolina Bridge Club, has online and self-paced courses for beginners and more advanced players. The classes are free - he asks that you donate "a glass of wine" if you like the course.
