The lady who taught the beginners the day I stopped in was extremely knowledgeable and rather friendly, within the need to be firm and keep the 4 beginners on track.
The next week 3 new players (I was one) were placed at a table with an experienced player, who didn't appear to want to play with the new players. It was a very stressful session, the experienced player kept pushing us to be faster. I could see the discomfort I was feeling on the faces of the other beginners.
My fix - I haven't gone back. Luckily I found a few other ladies interested in friendly games and we play at the home of one of them.
