Honest takes, straight from the table.
At first glance Mahjong felt very intimidating because of all the information to grasp, but Beth was so knowledgeable and more than willing to explain things repeatedly.
Beth is informative, patient, and her love of Mahjong shines through her teaching, making learning super fun and easy. Thanks to her I’m now obsessed with Mahjong!
These classes made me feel confident playing the game much faster than I ever expected. Beth's passion for the game is contagious, and she creates such a welcoming, supportive environment.
Beth is an excellent teacher and did a great job explaining things in a way that didn't feel overwhelming and made it so fun. Her handouts were beautiful and I can't wait to play again!
