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

Jennie has been playing mah jongg since 2002, when she first learned from her mother’s friends and quickly fell in love with the depth, beauty, and tradition of the game. She honors its rich history while creating a warm, welcoming experience for newcomers, helping them feel right at home around the table.

As an instructor, Jennie teaches not just how to play, but why National Mah Jongg League rules matter. Her step-by-step approach connects the game to familiar concepts, offering clear explanations, best-practice traditions, and memorable rule insights that help students build a strong, lasting foundation. She sprinkles in fun facts and historical notes along the way, keeping lessons engaging and meaningful.

Jennie continues to expand her own knowledge through collaboration with a circle of seasoned experts whose decades of experience enrich her teaching. For her, mah jongg is more than a game—it’s laughter, connection, and shared moments rooted in etiquette and tradition. She brings that spirit to every table, nurturing confidence, curiosity, and community in every player she teaches.
