Your Instructor
Certified. Patient. Fun.
Hi, I’m Shauna, a certified Oh My Mahjong instructorand the founder of Las Vegas Mahjong. I’ve been playing American Mahjong for nearly 18 years, teaching friends and family long before I turned it into a business.
My teaching style is patient, clear, and beginner-obsessed. I break the game into simple, logical steps so you’re not overwhelmed, and you’re playing your first hand within the first hour, every time.
I offer lessons across Las Vegas, Summerlin, Henderson, and the entire Las Vegas Valley. I can also come to your home or host virtually via Zoom.

Real Results
“I never played before, didn't even own a card, and walked away with my own card and a solid working knowledge of the game. Shauna is patient and makes the process fun.”
“Took three lessons from Shauna... She breaks down the game into sections so that you truly understand all of the rules and strategies. Would highly recommend her if you would like to learn how to play American Mahjong.”
“Just looking at the tiles made me think it would be impossible to learn. Shauna made it easy! After the first lesson, my brain was hurting, but after the second lesson, it all made sense. Then it turned to fun!”
“Her mahjong lessons are fun, engaging, and so easy to follow. She has a wonderful way of teaching that makes even the most complicated parts of the game feel approachable. If you've ever wanted to learn mahjong, Shauna is the person to learn from.”
