It’s time to master mahjong.

I teach strictly NMJL rules for one reason—I want you to be confident at any table. Also, if you and your mahj mates decide to play using house rules, it’s easier to understand why you may want to break a rule…if you know the rule.

That said…y’all I am all in on the bam bird cheers 🥂

There’s no governing body for certifying mahjong teachers.

I am a member of the Mahj Life Instructor Guild and have received micro-credentials that demonstrate my deep understanding of the rules—both published and unpublished—of American mah jongg as well as a commitment to identify house rule variations and their impact on the game so you can adapt and play confidently at any table.

Absolutely! I offer private mahjong lessons and events tailored to your group — whether it’s friends at home, a book club, a birthday, or a corporate team-building event. I’ll bring the tiles, cards, and teaching materials so you can focus on learning and having fun.

Classes (like Mahjong 101/102) focus on learning the rules step-by-step. Guided play is hands-on practice with support — I’ll sit with your group, answer questions, and help you make decisions as you play. It’s the perfect bridge between lessons and independent play.

Yes! Mahjong makes a great activity for birthdays, showers, reunions, networking, and holiday gatherings. I can create a custom event where your guests learn the basics and play together. No experience required — everyone leaves ready to play again.

A full game is four players per table, but I can work with any group size. For smaller groups, I’ll adapt the lesson so everyone gets hands-on play. For larger events, I can bring assistants to help multiple tables at once.

I bring everything you need: mahjong tiles, racks, a coordinating mat, National Mah Jongg League cards, and teaching materials. You just provide the space (and snacks if you want!).

Open play is designed for players who already know the basics and can play independently.

My goal is to have welcoming tables where you can make new mahj connections.

If you’re brand new to the game, start with a mahjong class series.

If you still need a lot of reminders during gameplay or don’t feel like you’re really understanding the Charleston, let’s put together a guided play session so you’ll feel confident at the table.

I host events across Central Arkansas for private groups or corporate events. I’m connected to a state-wide group of mahji mentors, and I can connect you to the perfect host for your event anywhere in the Natural State.
