Eastside Mahjongg, led by the experienced player and teacher Hope Goldberg, brings friends together to learn and enjoy the game. Our classes are designed to create fun and engaging experiences for all participants.
​
At Eastside Mahjongg, we are dedicated to sharing the joy of the game with groups of friends. Our goal is to teach you how to play American MahJongg, while creating a memorable journey of learning and laughter.
​
We offer private group lessons to help you and your group of friends learn to play in a comfortable and non stressful way. This is a great way for you and 3 or 4 of your friends to get started​.​​​​

"Hope is an amazing Mahjong instructor who made learning the game a delight! She was flexible with scheduling, accommodating our group's busy schedule. Her patience, clear teaching style, and passion for the game created a fun and engaging experience for everyone, and brought the stress level down for us beginners. She got us to the point where we could play on our own in 6 hours of teaching, and has remained available for questions and support as we have ventured out on our own.
​
If you’re looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, adaptable, and great fun to learn from, Hope is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!"

I just wrapped up 4 weeks with Hope Goldberg and I might be hooked! It was a blast and we laughed so much and bonus -it’s soooo good for your brain! Just get a group of 4 and coordinate a slot of time (she comes to you and brings all the things!) that works for 4 weeks. I am not great at learning new things and was nervous but Hope made it fun, easy and low stress. If you are looking for something new I highly recommend Hopes Mahjongg classes!

"Hope took what seemed to be complex and difficult to learn and taught our group how to play. We now have a weekly game. Hope is wonderful teacher, patient and flexible!"
