Start your Mahjong journey here
I make the game approachable, fun, and easy to learn. Whether you're brand new or ready to build your skills,
I'll guide you every step of the way.
Meet your coach.
I’m Jill, the Charleston Coach, and I believe learning mahjong should feel more like game night with friends than a math test. I’m here to help you decode the card, conquer the Charleston, and say things like “two bam” with total confidence.
I specialize in turning confused looks into “aha!” moments, with laughs (and snacks) along the way.
Every lesson is a joy ride: low pressure, good company, and a lingering satisfaction that keeps you coming back to the table.
Let’s make your mahjong journey a smooth ride.
