Stacey's excitement about the Maj is contagious. She breaks down the game so it's easier to understand. She sends her students lesson ideas and is super encouraging. She genuinely wants her students to succeed and understand. I want to learn because of her.

I was incredibly fortunate to have Stacey as my instructor and introduction to Mahjong. In just a few hours, she gave me the confidence to play independently. Her enthusiasum is infectious, and she has a true gift for breaking down all the layers. I'm so excited to to continue developing my strategy with her teaching.

I don't like playing games (literally or metaphorically!), and Mahjong felt especially daunting. I'd heard there were so many rules and didn't think that I had the bandwidth for it. But, Stacey broke down the barriers in just one session and made it fun, social, and simple. She's a gifted teacher, patient and always one step ahead of the comprehension gaps new players tend to fall into!
