Biography

Jillian first learned to play mah jongg at just eight years old on the 1992 NMJL card. Though she played on and off over the years, everything changed when a group of close friends asked her to teach them—it reignited her love for the game and sparked a true passion for teaching. Today, Jillian leads lively classes and events for players of all ages and skill levels, always with the belief that mah jongg is for everyone. Her goal is simple: for every student to have fun and leave wanting to play just one more game. When she’s not teaching, you’ll find her baking, belting out show tunes, or chasing after her two young boys.

Student Skill Level: Beginner, Intermediate

In-Person Guided Play Size: Up to 16 players.

In-Person Lesson Size: Up to 8 solo, 12 with an assistant. 

Microcredentials:

First Principles Promise: I promise to teach you the first principles of mah jongg using the official rules, giving you a strong foundation and the confidence to play with anyone, anywhere.

Variations Awareness Pledge: I pledge to distinguish house rules from the official rules and help you understand their impact so you can confidently adapt and enjoy the game anywhere.
