You know the rules, you also know you are leaning hard on the player next to you.
Build confidence with monthly challenges, member sessions and Q&As, a replay library, and a community to keep learning with. $19.99/month. Best once you know the basic rules.
Join Confidence Club →Curious
You want a peek before you commit.
Start with the free one-page cheat sheet: tile basics, Charleston order, Joker rules, and one real 2026 hand explained.
Free Cheat Sheet →Ready for Real Strategy
Your strategy is "memorize and hope." You want "read and decide."
The 2026 Strategy Edit teaches you how to read the 55 hands, not memorize them. Pair with the Mahj-El Tov! Mastery Method for the full framework.
2026 Strategy Edit →Want 1:1 Support
You want a private hour focused on your exact stuck-point.
$100 per session. Private lessons are one-on-one on Zoom, and new appointment windows are released to the private-lesson list first.
Join the private-lesson waitlist →Learning from the very beginning? Start with the free cheat sheet and beginner learning path. You can also get updates on future beginner classes. The Club is a good next step once you can play through a game.

A note from Lara
"I started teaching mahjong because I know what it feels like to be confused, overwhelmed, and unsure if you'll ever 'get it.' You will. And I'll be with you the whole way."

Where Does Confidence Club Fit In
Three ways to keep getting better.
A guide, a live class, and a membership do different jobs. Here is what each one actually gives you.
A Single Digital Guide
A guide is the reference book on your shelf. You pull it out before game night, look up the one thing you forgot, and put it back. The info is yours, but the asking-questions part is still on you.
A Live Class
Focused teaching on Zoom, with time for questions and a recording to revisit. Topics, levels, lengths, and prices vary. Each public class is a separate purchase; no membership is required.
Confidence Club
The ongoing version. A new hand challenge every month, a live Q&A for the questions your table raised this week, a searchable replay library, and a group of women working on the same parts of their game you are.
Weekly online games require a separate paid I Love Mahj subscription. Separately advertised paid Zoom classes are separate purchases.
Shop Lara's Favorites
The tiles, racks, and books I actually use.
These are the sets I play on, the racks I keep on my own table, the table covers I recommend to friends, and the books I send students to when they want to keep learning between classes. Not random affiliate links. The things I would tell you about over coffee.
See All of Lara's Favorites →Still Not Sure
Ask me where to start.
Tell me a little about where you are and what you are stuck on, and I will point you to the right next step.
Want to learn live?
Bring your questions to a live Zoom class with Lara or one of her co-teachers. Choose a topic that fits your game, learn together, and revisit the recording afterward.
