Learning Programs

Robert Baker is an experienced bridge teacher who has developed these comprehensive lessons and used them for several years in his classes. He runs regular courses for adults as well as teaching privately in the West of England. As well as being a Full Member of EBUTA he is an EBU Life Master.

These programs are endorsed by the English Bridge Union and have been featured in the English Bridge Magazine. Lessons have been designed for two different scenarios:

  • For Students - They provide a user-friendly lesson on a given topic. Each lesson is complete in itself, or can form part of a series which, together, cover the entire range of bidding, play or defence. The lessons are designed to be entirely compatible with the courses run by the English Bridge Union Teachers’ Association and also the series of “really Easy” books published by the EBU.
     

  • For Teachers - These presentations are ideal for use either in a classroom environment (with the use of a data projector) or in front of small groups of students using, for example, a laptop computer. They are designed to cover the syllabus laid down by EBUTA.

A package containing everything that you need for a single session “Masterclass” on a selected topic, enabling you to run a class of about 2 - 2½ hours with a practical session of play included. When I run these sessions, I duplicate boards so that each table plays hand number one at the same time (we can then look at it together, on the screen if you like) before moving on to hand number two, etc. This way, a set of six hands gives a playing session of about 1 - 1½ hours.

A complete “Masterclass” package comprises:

  • PowerPoint presentation on the topic (approximately 45-60 minutes long, can be split up into smaller portions)

  • Set of notes as a handout for students

  • Set of six hands (with commentary on bidding and play) for the group to play which can also be copied and given out as an additional handout.

For a sample of these courses, please download the < Sample Presentation > This is part of a lesson on HELVIC (a “wriggle” after partner’s 1NT is doubled). Note: This sample is 8 slides long, most of the lessons listed below are approximately 35 - 40 slides in length.
