Teaching People I Know

Most of my time is spent traveling around to new places teaching people I don’t know Mah Jongg. Eventually I get to know them as I come back again and again and teach people who were once strangers and now are friends.

I used to just teach beginner Mah Jongg, but students wanted to take more courses and my whole curriculum developed to help people learn how to think about the strategy of the game. Also the advent of teaching a New Card Orientation class in April and May brought be back to most of my regular clubs.

I have some New Card classes coming up that have spaces in them.

There is a beginner class in Kinston April 16, 17 & 18 1-4 PM.

Tonight I had a neighborhood class full of friends. I rarely teach in Durham because I taught most people in Durham 20 years ago. Now that Mah Jongg has gotten to be the “in” thing people who didn’t bother before, or who have not played in years and want to relearn. It was so fun to have a class full of old friends. At last my friend Lynn is learning.

Teaching people I know is no different than teaching people I just met, except I don’t have to make a seating chart. What is more fun is the anticipation to play with people I know.
