What you get

Every feature is on every plan. Your team works on the site with you at no extra cost.

Your own website

At yourname.bridgeinstructors.com or on your own domain, with your name, logo and colours, your pages and articles. Already have a website? Your lessons and shop can live on it instead.

Lessons with the Deal Player

Students play your deals card by card, with your notes at each step, beside your videos and text. Put lessons together into series and whole courses.

Your deal library

All your deals in one place, in folders, ready for any lesson. Have a photo of a hand record? Your deals can be read from it.

Quizzes

Bidding and play questions, graded for you, with your explanations, so students know where they stand.

Live sessions and events

Classes online (with Zoom) or in person, events, and sign-up sheets for your games.

Sell lessons, memberships and more

Single lessons, memberships with what they include, events and a shop. Students pay straight into your own Stripe account.

Your students and emails

Your students in one list, your newsletter, emails to everyone who bought a lesson, and comments on your lessons and articles.

Private lessons, booked

Your profile and booking calendar on Bridge Instructors, where players look for teachers. Private bookings never carry a commission.

The BI Assistant

Say what you want - a page, your colours, a logo, a list of lessons - and it builds it for you to check. Undo is always there.

Why not a general course platform?

  • It knows bridge. A general course site shows a hand as a picture. Here a deal is a deal: students play it, and you use it again in any lesson or quiz.
  • The players are already here. Bridge players come to Bridge Instructors to find games, clubs, tournaments and teachers - and find you.
  • One place. Your site, your lessons, your bookings and your students, with one login for you and for them.

Three plans

The same site on each. They differ only in how you pay us: more up front and a smaller share of what you sell, or less up front and a bigger share. Our share is of what a sale brings, shipping and tax left out.

Paid once to publish. Nothing a month.

What you pay us a month at those sales. A one-time fee is shown apart, since you pay it only once.

Stripe's fee comes on top, from Stripe, not us. Your students pay through your own Stripe account, and Stripe takes its card fee there - in the US 2.9% + 30¢ a payment. That is the same on every plan and on any site that takes cards.

You can move up a plan at any time, and down when what you paid for ends. The Partscore fee is paid once per site, never again. Details are in the Teacher Agreement.

Questions

Do I pay to try it?

No. You build your whole site free, and nobody but you and your team sees it - visitors see "Coming soon". While it is a draft it holds up to 3 lessons and 10 students, and the BI Assistant helps with about 30 requests. You pay when you publish.

Can I get my money back?

The publish fee is refunded in full if you ask within 14 days of paying and your site has not made a sale yet. A monthly or yearly plan can be cancelled at any time; it runs to the end of what you paid.

What if I stop paying?

If a payment fails we email you, and your site stays live while your card is tried again. If it is still not paid, your site goes back to "Coming soon". Nothing is deleted, and students who bought lessons keep them. Pay, and your site is live again at once.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes, on every plan, at no extra cost. You keep owning the domain; we show you what to set in its DNS.

Do you take a share of my private lessons?

No. Private lessons booked through your profile never carry a commission. Our share is only on what your site sells: lessons, memberships, events and the shop.

Who owns my lessons and my students?

You do. You keep all rights in your content, and your students are yours. The Teacher Agreement sets it all out.
