I promise to teach you the first principles of mah jongg using the official rules, giving you a strong foundation and the confidence to play with anyone, anywhere.
I pledge to distinguish house rules from the official rules and help you understand their impact, so you can confidently adapt and enjoy the game anywhere.
Hi, I’m Jill.
I teach modern, beginner-friendly American Mahjong for curious players across the DMV—and I’m here to make learning the game feel welcoming, stylish, and genuinely fun.
A lifelong lover of games and gatherings, I fell in love with Mahjong the way many do: over a shared table, lots of laughter, and a little confusion about the Charleston. (We’ll fix that!) What started as a personal hobby quickly turned into a passion for helping others feel confident, connected, and totally charmed by the tiles.
By day, I work in communications. By nights and weekends, I’m helping folks decode the card, learn the lingo, and fall in love with this beautiful game. Whether you’re hosting a girls’ night, planning a birthday or bachelorette, or simply want to try something new, I’ll bring everything you need—and I’ll meet you where you are.
No experience needed. Just good vibes, great people, and a few Craks.
What to Expect:
Clear, confidence-boosting lessons
A judgment-free table (we all start somewhere!)
Stylish tile setups
A little tradition and a lot of fun
Let’s play!
