Ask me any questions about private lessons!
I took Gaia's 101 and 102 Mahjong class several months ago and my company hired her to teach a group of our clients how to play as well. Gaia loves Mahjong! Throughout all of the classes she made the game so easy to learn and understand and most importantly, fun. I am now all in on Mahjong as a result! If you are looking for someone knowledgeable, easy to work with and just all around wonderful to help you and your friends/colleagues/clients learn Mahjong, I highly recommend reaching out to Gaia. She is the best!
We had Gaia give two private lessons (101 and 102) for four of us to learn, and it was an excellent experience! By the end of the second lesson we felt like pro’s and had such a good time playing the game!
Gaia has a great teaching style, getting us comfortable with each part, with no stress and while having fun. The time flies by!
I am looking forward to my Mahjong journey and definitely feel Gaia has set us off on the right path!
This was without a doubt the most concise, understandable two lessons I could have imagined. I started with a totally clean slate, knew nothing, had never heard the terms Crak, Bam or Dot (other than my sister’s nickname) and now I feel like I can PLAY Mahjong, and with lots of practice I will one day WIN🀄️
Gaia is such an exceptional teacher! Very understandable and makes the game so fun (not scary) from the first minute! I highly recommend taking her classes, you will be glad you did!
Gaia is an amazing teacher - my friends and I LOVED learning from her and plan to have her back for another session very soon.
Aww, thank you!! You ladies were so fun to teach - I’m already excited for more! Let’s Mahj again soon!

Why should I trust you with my Mahjong journey?
Great question! Learning Mahjong can feel intimidating, and I don’t take lightly the trust you place in me as your teacher. I’m not only a Certified American Mahjong Instructor, but I also went the extra mile to study how to teach well. I sought out training from seasoned authorities, learning what works - and what doesn’t - so I could create my signature Mahjong Made Simple method.
The Mahjong community has noticed, too - I was honored to be nominated as a 2025 Favorite Instructor by the American Mah Jongg Association.
Most importantly, my students describe me as patient, supportive, and fun. With me, you’ll learn quickly, without judgment, and in a way that makes the game feel approachable, social, and joyful. Read a bit more about me and my approach to Mahjong learning here!
