In their own words.
Lorna's Mentoring has inspired my love for Bridge. Her clear and lighthearted approach to teaching allows her to impart her deep knowledge of the game, ensuring her students have a few chuckles along the way. Lorna's approach is fundamentally Socratic. Through asking just the right questions, she leads her students to discover the answers themselves. Many “light bulb moments” brighten the inquisitive minds in her classroom. Mentoring lessons are extremely well planned and executed. Students leave her classroom ready to try new concepts encouraged they are growing their abilities to improve at the game. Lorna truly inspires the love of Bridge.
This approach to improving your bridge game works! It's a natural progression from lessons on the fundamentals of bridge to this form of teaching. Lorna and her team advance your game by introducing and reviewing topics in her “chalk talk” and then playing hands with real-time advice from mentors. Thank you Lorna for giving me an approach to improving my play.
Lorna played a vital role for the Bridge Centre of Niagara for many years. I was in a class of hers around 12 years ago with 13–14 brand-new players. Through her patience, knowledge and enthusiasm many of us continue to play today. Bridge isn't just a game to me — it's a whole community, and Lorna goes above and beyond to keep it alive.
If you have found the great game of bridge, you are likely looking for a way to learn and engage with others like you. If you are lucky, you meet a mentor just like Lorna. She has a wealth of knowledge and a natural way of teaching — friendly, patient, and full of humour. Anytime I play I hear her in my ear saying “what are you telling your partner?” or “what do you think partner's bid means?” She deserves all the praise and gratitude she receives from her students.
