About Joan Butts
Joan Butts is a world class bridge player and teacher, who has represented Australia in world championships and taught thousands of bridge students around the world.
While she loves playing the game, Joan’s real passion is teaching bridge. Giving new players the simplest introduction to bridge is essential. Regardless of how far a student wants to go, Joan is dedicated to helping them get there.
Joan began playing at the age of 25. Her fascination for the game led her to start her own bridge club, which she operated for thirty years.
Joan’s dedication to bridge has played an enormous part in her professional life. She was the National Teaching Coordinator with the Australian Bridge Federation for 12 years, where she used her tertiary education and psychology qualifications to create a comprehensive Teacher Accreditation Programme. Joan has trained hundreds of bridge teachers across Australia in the methodology of teaching.
Bridge is the most popular card game in the world and has changed so much over the last few years. With Joan, it’s easy to learn. It’s an enjoyable game to play socially with friends, or competitively, both online and in person. There truly is something for everyone and, as Joan has seen time and time again, lifelong friendships are forged at the bridge table!
