There is no easy way. If you want to advance your game you want to play with the most advanced partners and opps that you can find.

Playing with other Novices won't improve your game.

As far as I know, yes, just keep checking profiles. Probably the best strategy to easily find novice/beginner tables is to go to Options -> More Options -> Advanced Options and select "Show profile upon mouse over." Then go to List all tables -> Relaxed Bridge Club, and select Open Tables at the top. Then mouse over possible partners, occasionally hitting Refresh at the top if it's been a while.

It's understandable that a beginner might not want to barge into an experienced game of strangers.

 

Finding a/some mentor(s) who are willing to play with you even though you are a novice is of course a good thing to do as well. I wouldn't know how to go about doing such a thing. There's such a thing as the Beginner/Intermediate Lounge which I think does mentorship, but it also costs money, and I don't really know that much about it.

www.bilbridge.com has all the info and is good with but a small charge to cover some of the costs of what they do.

 

I have recommended in the past playing a few ACBL Individual games where you can play with a number of different partners and find a few compatible ones to hook up with fairly quickly.
