Debbie Barnett has been playing Mah Jongg for over 45 years. Her love for the game began at the Colony Beach & Tennis Club in East Haven, CT. After relocating to South Florida in 1988, she continued playing the game by organizing various social groups. In 2006, she decided to spread her passion for the game through teaching. She has since taught hundreds of students locally and at various venues including a program for Leisure Time Tours held at the Boca Raton Resort & Spa.

Debbie has now taken her teaching to a higher level with a distinctive, interactive, teaching platform. Now students can be taught in the comfort of their homes on their desktop or tablet while the game works in the background just as if they were sitting around a table with her. Through Debbie’s unique and concise way of teaching, students will be sure to grasp all the rules and concepts needed to play this game independently.

Debbie also offers a lifetime mentorship to all her students. She understands that although students learn the rules during class, there are times they will forget. The mentorship allows them to text her with a question and even send a picture of their hand or exposure that might simply say, “Can I do this?” or “Can I use a Joker in a pair?” etc. She feels the mentorship is especially important during the first year of playing socially which is where the biggest learning curve is encountered.
