关于讲师：Robin Hall 是一位充满热情的麻将爱好者、经验丰富的教育工作者和敬业的社区倡导者，她坚信最好的人际联系和友谊始于牌桌。在退休前，Robin 曾从事了25年的专业会计和会计软件教学工作。她的教学风格耐心、鼓励、条理清晰且注重实践。她乐于将游戏拆解为易于理解的步骤，并创造一个舒适的课堂环境，让学生可以随时提问、练习、欢笑并按照自己的节奏学习。Robin 通过初学者课程、引导式游戏、私人指导、联盟和社区活动，已将数百名玩家引入美式麻将的世界。她教学中最喜欢的部分之一，就是看着一名新玩家从面对满桌陌生的麻将牌，转变为能够自信地阅读计分卡、做出决策并高喊“麻将！”。Robin 是休斯顿太空人队（Houston Astros）的终身球迷，并致力于回馈社区。她相信共享体验的力量，无论是在麻将桌旁、为太空人队加油，还是支持当地事业以凝聚人心。对 Robin 而言，退休并不意味着停止教学；这仅仅意味着用麻将牌取代了会计书籍，并找到了一种新的方式来做她一直热爱的事情：教学、连接并建立社区——一次一张牌。

About the Instructor: Robin Hall is a passionate Mahjong enthusiast, experienced educator, and dedicated community advocate who believes some of the best connections and friendships begin around a table. Before retiring, Robin spent 25 years teaching professional accounting and accounting software. Her teaching style is patient, encouraging, organized, and hands-on. She enjoys breaking the game into easy-to-understand steps and creating a comfortable classroom environment where students can ask questions, practice, laugh, and learn at their own pace. Robin has introduced hundreds of players to American Mahjong through beginner classes, guided play, private instruction, leagues, and community events. One of her favorite parts of teaching is watching a new player go from looking at a table full of unfamiliar tiles to confidently reading the card, making decisions, and calling “Mahjong!” Robin is a lifelong Houston Astros fan and is deeply committed to giving back to her community. She believes in the power of shared experiences, whether around a Mahjong table, cheering for the Astros, or supporting a local cause to bring people together. For Robin, retirement didn’t mean retiring from teaching; it simply meant trading accounting books for Mahjong tiles and finding a new way to do what she has always loved: teach, connect, and build community—one tile at a time.
