It would be great to attract more beginners to this wonderful game which offers such sociability (Bridge is played in partnership) amongst logic and mental stimulation. I hope you enjoy my lessons – I had a lot of fun teaching them online!”

Some recommendations from Jack’s students:
“I came to Jack’s classes as an almost complete beginner and after 7 months I cannot believe how much I have learnt. The lessons are well structured and informative taking us at just the right pace to make good progress whilst building confidence. Jack’s easy going nature and sense of humour make it relaxed and fun.
Online learning means that a class need never be missed as it can be viewed at any time, whilst participating live gives the added bonus of ‘live chat’ and a chance to ask questions and connect with other learners and Jack. Class members now play together regularly online.
I highly recommend giving it a go. Jack is an Ace teacher (pun supplied by another student!)”

“I started learning Bridge, totally from scratch, at the end of 2019. Living in a remote Scottish area it is very difficult to find good teaching and opportunities to learn. LBO has been wonderful! I started the weekly lessons with Jack Stocken which give such a solid basis and explain bidding and playing techniques in a structured but very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Jack is a superb teacher and knows how to explain bridge clearly and simply. The interaction with students is fun and helps to clarify common questions and confusion. The availability of the replays and notes is a real bonus.
My bridge has improved much, much more than I expected. But also, so has my fascination with bridge!”
