About Caryn Fagan

"As we continue to play and learn, so many women have commented on how lucky we are to have had you as a teacher. When we play with someone new, it is really apparent. So many people don’t know the rules!!"

Thank you, thank you, you are much appreciated.

“Caryn taught me and several other ladies to play Mah Jongg.  She was incredibly patient and thorough.  But most of all, she showed us how much fun we could have.  She has been generous with her time and kind enough to come to our house to refresher “class” as needed.  I would recommend Caryn to anyone interested in learning or advancing their Mah Jongg game.”

“Oh, what a great way to start Mah Jongg!!  Caryn is the best instructor ever!  She quickly walked us thru the basics of the game and helped us understand the intricacies of  playing.  And, somehow made it fun!  Everyone got plenty of time and attention as she rotated around the table and guided us on our way to Mah Jongg.  We all enjoyed the lessons and felt fully prepared to play with others.  Plus, she was always available to answer questions via text or email.   Regardless of your level—beginner, intermediate or expert, I highly recommend Caryn to help you get to the next level of play. “
