Testimonials

I have completed beginner and intermediate bridge courses under Terry Hewett via Wimbledon Bridge Club. Terry has been an excellent tutor, taking extra time to accommodate all in the class at every level in the most patient yet encouraging manner.

I have learnt so much and really enjoyed the classes and cannot recommend Terry highly enough. Thank you Terry for introducing me to the world of bridge. Helen 8/7/20

 

I have really enjoyed having Terry as a teacher.  She had obviously put a lot of effort into the lessons.  She makes the concepts understandable and fun.

I have recommended Terry to several people wanting to learn to play bridge.  Valerie  10/7/20

"Hilary’s in-depth knowledge and enthusiasm for Bridge comes across in her teaching.  Her teaching is well structured and there is time for playing out the cards to reinforce the teaching during the lessons.  I liked that Hilary really encourages her students to practice and go to the supervised play sessions to help with their confidence. "

"I joined the club in September 2011. I knew nothing about bridge and I did a two years course with Giorgio Provenza, who taught us really well and also encouraged us to participate in various competitions eg we participated in “Novice League” competition at the very beginning. Afterwards Martha became our teacher and supervisor and I must say that because of her friendly and encouraging nature I learnt a lot and as a result my confidence developed very quickly. Thanks to the club and its wonderful atmosphere I have learnt to play and love the game of bridge and hope that I will continue to improve my game in the future. "

"I signed up for lessons two years ago with Wimbledon Bridge Club. I had not played previously.  I started the course with Martha who has immense knowledge and skill coupled with an easy and adaptable style that enables her to mesh well with any group and provide very informative instruction in a fun, flexible way. 

She wrote many examples on the board while giving explanations of how and why. This was done at a slow pace for our understanding with opportunity for questions.  We were then able to practice what we had learnt. I have met some lovely people and I have progressed to playing in general sessions, some supervised and some competitive. The club is friendly and supportive and I always look forward to the sessions I play.”

"I have just completed 2 years of lessons at the Wimbledon Bridge Club. I had not played previously. The teaching was fantastic, really enjoyable and I met some great people. The club is very friendly and supportive and makes it easy to progress to playing in general sessions; some are supervised to give you all the help you need and you can move to gentle competitive playing if you want to. There is something at the club for every level. I highly recommend it."

"I signed up for lessons two years ago with Wimbledon Bridge Club, when my son went to University. I have enjoyed the two year course and practice sessions. The teachers are very friendly, patient, helpful and approachable. Personally, you couldn't learn to play bridge in a better environment."

"I joined the club about three years ago now. In my mid-sixties keen to learn something new, but with a degree of trepidation, I couldn't have found a better place to start playing. The classes are not only stimulating and well organised, but the marvellous teachers make them huge fun as well."
