Private Lessons

One on One to Up to 16 at a Time

Janelle has taught in a variety of settings ranging from one on one, to mother daughter pairs, to multigenerational families. She has also taught groups as large as 16 at a time. Her best advice to have a strong foundation is to book 3 lessons within a 2-3 week period. The closer the lessons the higher the retention. If you have not played in a while and feel rusty then guided play is perfect for you.

You and a Friend or Friends Together

Want a private lesson for just you and one other person? This is for you! Or you bring the group, Janelle will bring the mahjong! (Travel Fees may apply outside of Nashville)

MultiGenerational Families

Janelle can teach your family a new favorite pastime! If your family loves games or you are ready to mix things up, then this is for you.
