With my Mahjong Made Simple method, most beginners can start playing after just one lesson. Ongoing practice, social play, and continued learning help deepen your skills and comfort - and that’s where the real magic of the game unfolds.

Nope! I bring everything you need - tiles, racks, mats, teaching tools, reference sheets, and all the good vibes.

If you already have a set, wonderful - we can absolutely use it. But nothing is required to start learning.

If we’re meeting in your space for a private lesson, your only responsibility is to provide tables (most kitchen or dining tables work well), chairs, and any drinks or snacks you'd like to offer your guests.

I teach in St. Petersburg, Tampa, and across Tampa Bay. For private lessons & events outside the area - including Sarasota, Orlando, Miami, and beyond - just ask!

Yes! I offer private 1:1 Zoom lessons for those who want personal guidance from anywhere in the world. You’ll get a digital recap afterward so everything sticks.

Open Group Classes:

Structured, step-by-step beginner curriculum

Private Lessons:

Customized to your pace
Perfect for friend groups or small gatherings
Flexible timing and location

Yes! I love when students bring their own sets - it helps you get comfortable with what you’ll use at home.

If you’re unsure whether your set works for American Mahjong, I’ll guide you through everything. Email me a pic of your set and I’ll help you figure it out!

Private lessons are perfect for 4–16 people, with a minimum of 4 attendees required. If your group has fewer than 4, no problem - you’re still welcome to book! You’ll simply cover the minimum lesson fee.

And yes, odd numbers are absolutely fine. Mahjong doesn’t require perfectly matched pairs to learn and play during a lesson.

For groups larger than 16, I recommend a custom event so everyone gets the right level of attention and support.

Yes! If you already know the basics and can play a full game with light guidance, come join us!.

If you’re brand-new and have never learned or played, start with a Private Lesson or Group Class - you’ll be ready for socials in no time!

Yes! I love creating custom Mahjong experiences for private clubs, neighborhoods, corporate wellness events, charities, and private groups.

From relaxed “learn & play” gatherings to full beginner workshops, I can tailor something joyful, stylish, and fun for your group. Pricing is based on size, complexity, and level of involvement. Interested in learning more? Contact me and let’s chat!

You’ll receive a confirmation email with everything you need: location details, what to expect, and how to prepare.

For private lessons, you’ll also receive an email to capture all players’ contact information so that you and your friends can have the best mahi experience possible.

Life happens! I kindly ask for 48 hours’ notice to reschedule for another class/lesson within 6 weeks of the original booking date. No refunds are issued.

Events, large group classes, and multi-week programs may have unique policies - all details are shared when booking.
