Mahj Club Instructor

Carol Weinfeld,

I met Sara in 2022, taking her Mahj Club Beginner Series. I made friends in the class and continued playing once a week. I taught my family and some friends, and I played every chance I got. As Mahj Club grew, Sara trained me under the Mahj Club Method, and now I’m Mah Jongg obsessed as well! Having worked in education for decades, teaching Mah Jongg is the perfect blend of my passions.
