A Half-Day, Virtual Professional Development Event for American Mah Jongg Instructors
Whether you’re just starting your teaching journey or have years of experience leading classes, the Mahj Life Instructor Summit-Fireside Chat is your opportunity to step away from the table, recharge your passion, and sharpen your skills in the company of fellow instructors.

Each year, current and aspiring American Mah Jongg instructors—guild members and non-members alike—gather for a day of high-value learning, hands-on workshops, and genuine connection in a welcoming, hobby-based teaching market.

What to Expect

  • Three Core Workshops*
  • Marketing – Clarify how you talk about your lessons and connect with the right students without feeling salesy or overwhelmed.
  • Money – Examine lesson offerings, pricing logic, and revenue structure in a hobby market—what’s working, what’s draining, and where small changes matter.
  • Method – Explore the Block Buster teaching approach and lesson design principles that help sessions flow and actually stick.

*Subject to change

Why Attend

  • Practical Strategies you can apply to your next lesson or marketing campaign.
  • Ready-to-Use Resources like templates and guides.
  • New Connections with like-minded instructors who share your love for the game.
