Private Mahjong Lessons – In the Comfort of Your Home!

We offer American Mahjong private lessons, each lasting two hours, covering the following topics:

  • Mahjong 101: Get to know the basic elements of the game and rules

  • Mahjong 102: Reinforcement of Mahjong 101, plus strategy and guided play

  • Mahjong 103: Intermediate strategy and guided play

Private lessons require a minimum of four participants. For new beginners, we recommend booking both Mahjong 101 & 102 within 1–2 weeks of each other, so you can build on your skills and start applying them right away. Mahjong 103 can be taken at any time to further hone your skills under the personalized guidance of an instructor. Each lesson is $65 per person.

At least one certified instructor will bring all the supplies you need to play and learn during the lesson. Just gather your friends, get ready to chat, connect, and dive head-first into what will become your newest obsession!

Booking is easy! Email info@themahjco.com with your location, group size and preferred dates - we'll handle the rest and bring the Mahjong fun to you!
