"Gaia has a unique gift of explaining how to play Mahjong in a clear and logical manner. After her encouraging lessons our group felt confident to dive into competitive play. I will add we were complimented by some seasoned players who were surprised we were novices!"

Victoria

"Gaia is a wonderful Mahjong instructor! As I was a beginner, she simplified everything and made it very easy to follow the learning process. Gaia also took time to help us with understanding the game and offered excellent advice. I would highly recommend Gaia as your Mahjong go to instructor."

Kym

"Gaia is incredible! I gathered a group of friends and most of them had never heard of Mahjong. Gaia was amazing at explaining the history and traditions of the game. The atmosphere she created was very relaxed, fun, and productive. We left knowing the game of Mahjong and are now meeting weekly to play. Gaia has been available since our workshop to answer any questions we have as we continue to enjoy Mahjong. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn the game."

Jasper

"Gaia is our Mahjong Monarch! Highly recommend a private lesson, as our group was able to clearly understand, process and apply Gaia’s direction. Between her masterful understanding of the game and patience, we were left playing a second game after she left…and only wanting more. Thank you, Gaia!"

Marla

"I had the opportunity to attend Gaia's two instructional beginner classes on Mahjong in January. Gaia was concise and thorough in her teaching. What is a complex game became a step by step fun game. What I also love about Gaia is she continuously reminds the class that this is a game and should be FUN!"
