Or maybe you’ve already bought the Stanley Special of Mahjong tiles and it’s been on your bucket list forever to learn the game. Now’s the time to gather your nearest and dearest because we’ve launched our very own private in-person Mahjong classes for Beginners!

MAHJONG COURSE DETAILS:
DETAILS
MAHJONG STYLE?
We offer both Hong Kong/Cantonese style Mahjong courses and Hong Kong Taiwanese style Mahjong courses though we recommend learning the Hong Kong/Cantonese style first as a prerequisite before flipping over to the Hong Kong Taiwanese style.
LENGTH OF COURSE
The course is a total of 5 hours. It will be conducted over the course of 2 lessons, each 2.5 hours each lesson. Each lesson will come with printable digital guides to complement the lesson.
LOCATION
This will be hosted at the venue of your choosing in Hong Kong, & most often is it at a guest’s residence.
DAY & TIME
As this is a private Mahjong class; therefore, the dates and time are of the group’s choosing and dependent on the Mahjong teacher’s availability.

The course is good for up to 4 people. Any additional persons will require an additional per head charge. Please see pricing below. NOTE: An ideal group size is around 4-6 players; however we have taught groups of 8 people. Please inquire with us to see what is the most suitable arrangement for your group.

ABOUT THE MAHJONG TEACHER
Virginia Chan, our founder, is our sole Mahjong Teacher currently and she learned Hong Kong/Cantonese style Mahjong via proxy – via sitting on her mom’s lap as she played mahjong as a little girl. Her childhood favourite hand was the PONG PONG HAND as that was the only one that Virginia’s mom would like her partake in by letting Virginia call out the pongs for her. Eventually, they gave her a sit at the table under the strict guidance of her Grandma and aunties… And through rigorous Mahjong sessions with her rather gregarious (aka crazy & loud) family, Virginia is ready to share the wealth of knowledge and the abundance of wisdom she has amassed from her elders throughout the years!
She has to date, taught over 50 Mahjong courses since inception in August 2020 & looks forward to teaching you how to pong, chow and sik-wu very soon.
