The Bridge Teachers

During her childhood, Samantha watched her parents and grandparents play bridge into the wee hours of the morning. An avid fan of all games, she was eager to try bridge and before going to college, her parents taught her how. In college, she roped Brian into playing and soon he was as addicted as she. They sought out a bridge club and found the “Easy Bridge” program and the wonderful world of bridge opened to them. After moving to Los Angeles, they volunteered at a bridge club and when the club needed teachers for their “Easy Bridge” program, Samantha was eager to give back to the program that had given her so much.

After the program, a student approached Brian and asked him to teach her privately. Soon they had so many students they were able to focus on teaching full time and Samantha discovered her love of teaching. She’s been teaching since 2000 and has written several bridge books (soon to be published on line).

Samantha has perfected the art of making the difficult and complex concepts of bridge simple and easy to understand. Wanting to share that with more students than her in person teaching allows, she and her husband have developed online bridge lessons which will be available in late 2019.

When Brian met his wife, Samantha, it was love at first sight. But she had a condition for their relationship: He learn to play bridge. They played with friends, but that wasn’t enough to feed the addiction and so they found a bridge club and the “Easy Bridge” program. Introduced to the basics, they played as much as they could, but busy lives and work interfered, until one day, playing Tybalt, Brian fractured his knee. Unable to work, he dove head first into online bridge and honed his bridge skills.

When his family moved to Los Angeles, they continued to play bridge. In 2000, through the club they volunteered at, were invited to teach an “Easy Bridge” program. During the program, a student asked if he taught privately and so began many wonderful years of teaching bridge. With rapidly changing technology, it is now possible to reach students all over the world and share the simple, easy to learn methods that they have perfected. In late 2019, they will be launching thebridgeteachers.com online lessons.
