Experienced teachers. Welcoming tables.

We love mahjong, and we want you to love it too. We’re both Oh My Mahjong Mahji Mentors and members of the Mahj Life Instructor Guild, and we’ve taught hundreds of players across Northwest Arkansas. Expect clear explanations, encouragement, and plenty of laughter along the way.

We keep our Mahjong 101 and Mahjong 102 classes small, with no more than eight students per instructor, so you get plenty of individual attention and time to ask all your questions. It’s important to us that you leave feeling confident and ready to sit down at a table and play.
