 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."
-- Leslie Shafer
publisher of Bridge Students 'R Us

"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?"
-- Frank Stagl, Gainesville, Florida

 
 
"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!"
-- Charlotte Baff
 
"Jerry is that rare combination of a great teacher, a fine bridge player, and a vibrant personality.  He has a special knack for organizing and presenting material in a manner that can be easily understood by players at all levels."
-- Audrey Grant
