Brittany leads the teaching arc of the afternoon — the tiles, the card, the Charleston, and the table manners that make a game feel like a gathering.
About
Two instructors,
on purpose
Brittany Mazique & Samantha McIntee
East Coast Sparrow & Soap is Brittany Mazique and Samantha McIntee. We teach American mahjong across the Washington area, and we teach it together — which is the part most people notice. Two instructors means nobody at a table of eight waits their turn to ask a question.
We bring everything: the sets, the mats, the racks and pushers, and a manual we wrote and designed ourselves so that the afternoon doesn’t end when we pack up.
Samantha McIntee
Co-founder
Samantha teaches alongside Brittany at every gathering of eight or more — it’s the two-instructor promise that sets the club apart.
The manual
We wrote the book. Literally.
A twenty-two–page beginner’s manual, written and designed in-house — so the afternoon doesn’t end when we pack up.
Every guest in Mahjong 101 and the Beginner Series takes the manual home, along with a National Mah Jongg League card of their own.
