SUMMARY:Mahjong 102 with Windy City Mahjong
DESCRIPTION:Mahjong Workshop for Intermediate/Players with an Understanding of Fundamentals\nThis “guided play” class is ideal for players who know the basics of American Mahjong and want to strengthen their skills. We keep the group small to ensure steady table time. You get personalized guidance\, real gameplay practice\, and clear\, constructive feedback. \nFirst\, we reinforce the fundamentals. Then we shift into strategy. You’ll practice defensive play and learn to read your opponents. You’ll refine your tile selection\, timing\, and overall decision-making. Each round adds focused tips and gentle instruction. These moments help you think ahead\, evaluate risk\, and build confidence. \nAs the class moves forward\, your game becomes more intentional and more intuitive. By the end\, you’ll feel more confident and more strategic. You’ll also enjoy the lively\, social rhythm of playing with others who share your enthusiasm for this classic game. \nCaroline Larew:  \nCaroline Larew is an American Mahjong instructor in the northern suburbs of Chicago and the founder of  Windy City Mahjong. Drawn to the game for its blend of strategy and camaraderie\, she loves how it offers both a mental challenge and a reason to spend time with friends. \nCaroline brings a strong professional foundation to Windy City Mahjong\, shaped by years in finance and investing. After earning her MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business\, she built a career in private equity before an unexpected breast cancer diagnosis led her to rethink her priorities. Now healthy and cancer-free\, Caroline has found renewed purpose in teaching and building community through Mahjong — a space where strategy\, connection\, and joy intersect. \nA mother of three\, she can often be found cruising around the suburbs in her minivan full of kids\, on the pickleball court\, sharing coffee with friends\, or hunting for hidden gems at estate sales.
