She teaches at the speed a student actually learns.
Toby Salk has built her teaching around the adult beginner, and she teaches at the speed a student actually learns, not the speed a teacher might wish. Prim featured her in an issue about teaching without overwhelm, because the pacing of her lessons, the patience of her explanations and the warmth of her presence were the very ideal Prim had just described.
Her Facebook presence and her online teaching have become an accessible classroom for beginners who are not near a local instructor. She does not deliver confident bad advice. She delivers patient, correct, sequenced instruction in the voice of a friend who happens to know the game. She also wrote American Mah Jongg for Everyone with Gregg Swain. If her work has helped you, Prim says, tell her so where she can see it.
