She hands out confidence, not tricks.
Lara Orndorff runs Lara's Mahjong Edit from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. She is a certified American Mah Jongg instructor and a member of the Mahj Life Instructor Guild, and she has built real teaching infrastructure: The Confidence Club, a track for instructors, courses at your own pace, live classes online, private lessons, a shop and a newsletter. Her 2026 card material went live just as the largest wave of new players went looking for it.
Her own words for the work are modern, approachable and confidence building, and Prim noticed that she put the confidence part in writing and then meant it. She teaches the why behind every decision rather than a list to memorize, and a player who understands why a discard matters can believe her own eyes. The best teachers, Prim wrote, do not make you dependent on them. They make you trust yourself.
