What teacher's say about Shark Bridge Teacher's Console

My students love lessons in the Shark classroom so much, they are pleading with me to continue online even when face-to-face bridge play returns. Many have told me, "I finally understand!" The versatility of the SBTC, along with the chance for each student to always have the best hand for practice, is remarkable. There's nothing else out there that meets bridge teaching needs like this program.
— Kim Gilman of Bridge with Kim
Game changer! Shark Bridge brings a new energy into online learning for the teacher and the student.
— Donna Compton of Play Better Bridge
Shark Bridge changes the whole dynamics of teaching bridge to students and adults alike. I call it a disruptive technology. I will never go back to teaching bridge with cards again
— Albert Bender of Bright for Youth
This thing is amazing. You can activate robots at all tables and set the level of the bots to match your students. Changing a hand to demonstrate how you might handle a slightly different layout is easy, on the fly, and be applied to all student tables with one click. There's so much more!
— Lynn Chapin of the Jersey Bridge Club
I think Shark bridge is an amazing tool for bridge teachers. When minor issues seldom arise, the owners (Milen and Planem) are quick to help. Allowing students to play the hands from past lessons, at their convenience outside of the lesson time slot is a brilliant feature. I look forward to future innovations from Shark Bridge.
— Daniel Lavee

How to: All students play declarer at the same time

This is a common problem with existing online teaching tools, only one in four students can be declarer on a given hand. You can do better and give more students more value for their time and dollars. You can have them all play declarer on the same hand at the same time.
