WES POWERS
Wes is a very active bridge director and teacher. He has been teaching bridge for many years in person, and is teaching almost full-time since the Covid-19 crisis. Wes has extensive online teaching experience using Zoom, BBO and his own teaching platform. His motto: HAVE FUN! Bridge is a GAME.
Wes believes in lots of practice, and classes have more playing time than “listening to the teacher” time. Beginner classes are intended for new players to “get their feet wet”, and see if Bridge is for them. There won’t be a lot of “rules” to learn; rather the focus is on playing the game and having fun. No partner is necessary; he willl pair people up.
