About Us

The School of American Mah Jongg (The School) is an online live interactive classroom where you can learn the game as if you are sitting around the table with other players. The school was created by Debbie Barnett, a long-time Mah Jongg player, and Instructor. Debbie's school is the first of its kind in the nation for teaching American Mah Jongg. The school was designed to teach Beginner, Advanced Beginners-Intermediate levels and those that want to learn Advanced Strategies. The classroom environment is user-friendly and mimics a real-life play experience. A variety of classes are available to fit your needs from full classes consisting of up 3-4 students. Semi-private classes consisting of 2 students and private classes consisting of 1 student. 

Debbie is now hiring Instructors to teach at the school. For those interested, please email the school at mahjongteacher1@gmail.com. Experienced teachers will be vetted prior to receiving training. Whether you want to teach part-time or full-time, it is a great way to share your passion with others and earn income at the same time.
