Mahjong is a beautiful, social, brain-boosting game… however—it can feel overwhelming to learn, especially if you are trying to learn on your own.
Don’t let the overwhelm stop you! Not so long ago, I was where you are now. I took a beginner lesson, knowing nothing, and instantly fell in love with the game. From the strategy of the game, to the social interaction and etiquette, and the pretty tiles of course…I was hooked! Now I’ve combined my love of mahjong with my love of teaching to share the mahjong love across North Texas and beyond.
I’m the creator behind Curious Classroom Adventures, and before becoming a certifed instructor for Oh My Mahjong, I spent years teaching kids how to tackle big ideas step-by-step. Turns out, adults learn best the same way: with clear explanations, patience, laughter, and tons of practice.
My mahjong lessons are designed for real people, not rulebooks. Whether you’re brand new to the game or finally ready to stop nodding along while secretly confused, you’re in the right place.
Teaching isn’t just what I do—it’s how I think.
As a classroom teacher, I know how to:
Break complex rules into simple, manageable pieces
Anticipate common questions before you even ask them
Explain things in multiple ways until they click
Create a relaxed, encouraging environment where mistakes are welcome and progress is celerated
No pressure. No judgment. No “you should already know this.”
Just clear instruction, hands-on learning, and lots of aha mahjong moments.
Mahjong isn’t just a game—it’s a gift to your brain and your social life.
Mahjong strengthens memory, strategy, pattern recognition, and decision-making. It’s like a workout for your brain… but way more fun than a crossword.
Something special happens around a mahjong table. Conversations flow, friendships form, and laughter becomes part of the game. Many players come for the tiles and stay for the people.
Clear, step-by-step instruction
A supportive, beginner-friendly atmosphere
Time to practice, ask questions, and actually play
Plenty of encouragement (and a few laughs along the way)
Whether you’re learning for fun, community, or a new mental challenge, my goal is simple:
to help you feel confident, comfortable, and excited to sit down at the mahjong table.
This course covers all the mahjong basics so you can start playing today! But it goes much deeper than that. This in-depth course covers everything you need to know for a standard National Mah Jongg League game as well as several “house rules” variations of the game. Through this 14-lesson course, we’ll start by breaking down the basics and move all the way to strategy.
