THE STUDENT PAIN POINT
They came to play. Help them arrive prepared.
Most beginner Mahjong lessons are short — often just a couple of hours.
Before students can really begin, teachers often need to introduce the origins, the tiles, the culture, and the basic flow of the game.
That context matters. But when students are excited to play, every minute at the table counts.
“I loved hearing the history and learning what the tiles meant — it was interesting, and it felt important to know.
But we only had so much time together, and we were all dying to start playing. I remember thinking,
‘I wish we could learn all of this before class and come in ready to actually learn how to play."

“Seeing my name and teaching information in Mahjong Origins made it feel like something that really belonged with my classes. I love the idea of my students getting that beautiful pre-class introduction before we meet — learning the history, what the tiles mean, the origins of the game, and how Mahjong flows. Such a huge first-lesson time saver for me — and more time to actually teach and play.”

A Note from the Creator
Start With Mahjong began with an idea from my younger sister.
After her beginner class, she told me how frustrated she and the other full-time working moms in her group had felt. They had arrived eager to learn and play, but much of their precious class time went to a lengthy history overview. We talked about how valuable it would be if students could get that context before class, leaving more time for learning and playing together at the table.That idea became Start With Mahjong.May the Start With Mahjong trilogy enrich your teaching practice and business as a thoughtful complement to your instruction, a warm welcome for students, and a distinctive feature that helps prospective students recognize the added value of learning this fascinating game from YOU.
