Biography
Susan is a dedicated mah jongg instructor who specializes in teaching beginners through clear, patient, and personalized lessons. Her love for the game began two years ago while playing with a regular group of sailing friends, and it quickly evolved into a passion for helping others experience the same joy and connection she found.
Based in Miami, Florida, Susan creates a warm and welcoming learning environment where players can relax, learn, and build confidence at their own pace. Her lessons focus on both the fundamentals and the fun—making sure every student leaves the table smiling and ready to play again.
Susan offers private and small-group instruction locally and is available to travel for lessons and workshops. Whether you’re brand new to the tiles or rediscovering the game after a break, she’s ready to guide you on your mah jongg journey.
