Mahj Life Instructor Guild > Teaching FACE-TO-FACE and ONLINE, nationwide!

Candida is an American mah jongg instructor who brings clarity, respect, and confidence to every lesson she teaches. She has been playing since 2024 and began teaching after recognizing a need for structured, confidence-building instruction for both new and returning players.

Her teaching emphasizes correct rules, proper etiquette, and a solid understanding of the National Mah Jongg League card. Candida creates a welcoming learning environment where questions are encouraged and enjoyment is part of the process. Her lessons are thoughtfully paced and designed to make mah jongg accessible without oversimplifying it, helping students develop real skill, confidence, and comfort at the table.
