Some of Jerry's reviews: |

"Jerry Helms is one dynamic teacher you just can't miss. Well
known for his humor and ability to mind-meld with his audience, you'll
be amazed at how much Jerry can turn learning bridge into so much fun.
He is the Pied Piper of bridge students at all levels. I have my own I
Love Jerry button and encourage students and other bridge teachers alike
to see this well loved bridge teacher in action."

"I attended your most recent seminar in Jacksonville Florida. I
was completely overwhelmed with the clarity of instruction that you provided.
I learned more in the first two hours of the seminar than I have learned
by reading the dozen plus bridge books I own. In the past I feel
like I have stumbled around in the dark as declarer; this seminar turned
on the LIGHTS! I now feel like I have an ingrained process for the approach
to play of the hand. Wow! Why didn't I do this sooner?"

"Every month, when the bulletin comes in, I go directly to"Ask
Jerry". your column is really great - informative, well written, sprinkled
with a little humor, and worth re-reading. (maybe that's how this "little
old lady" has arrived at seventy six hundred master points). anyway
- I think that it's time that I say "thank you" - and to
tell you how much I enjoy them. and your jerry-isms are fabulous!"
