Instructor Spotlight Planning

I am excited to work with you on your Instructor Spotlight episode. My hope is that will get a boost in visibility.

If you have not already done so, please decide if you want to do a presentation or gameplay with commentary. If you want to do gameplay with commentary, the platform options are:

• I Love Mahj (3-week free trial available if never used)
• Mahjong Time account (30-day VIP trial available if never used).

If you want to make any changes to the standard format, please let me know. Also, please review your instructor profile on the directory and use the Instructor Directory Profile Update form to submit changes.

If you want an idea of what it may be like, please watch NMJL Instructor Spotlight Let’s Play Livestream 20230615 Ronni Rice.
