Hi! My name is Sam! This is my SEVENTH year with TakeLessons and I couldn't be happier with the students that have come my way. If you're reading this, then you've taken the first step in finding a tutor that is right for you! 

I completed two Bachelor's degrees at Worcester State University in Massachusetts. I have a B.A in Spanish and a B.A in Communication.

I love Spanish, and I believe that you can really get the hang of it after a little time and practice. With grammar review, practice, and vocabulary memorization, it becomes really easy to learn this language. I am more than happy to be here to help you learn this exciting language! Proper pacing is crucial to learning a new language. Therefore, I make each lesson customized for every student. 

Every lesson, you will receive downloadable links with all of the content covered in the lesson. 

I also teach group classes. These are great for those that prefer larger classrooms and interacting with peers. Check out the Takelessons Live page and sign up for some of my classes!

Aside from Spanish, I also teach Adobe Photoshop & Photography. There are endless possibilities with Photoshop, and I am here to let you discover some of them. No experience? Tired of watching online tutorials with no feedback? Maybe you need a tutor to guide you through the process!

We will start off with layers and then go on from there, moving into the more intricate tools such as the pen tool, layer masks, and blending modes.

For photography lessons, I teach you the technical language you need to know when talking about photos. I will show you how to command your DSLR camera to get the exact photo you want.

This is a class for anyone who has been curious about Adobe Lightroom Classic! We will go over how to import the photos from your camera into Adobe Lightroom Classic. Next, we will go over how to do some quick edits on the photos. We will go over how to edit just one photo, and copy and paste the settings to other photos! Finally, we will save and export the images in a nice, organized and labeled way! Tired of seeing IMG_42134.jpg when looking through your pictures? Lightroom will fix that for you! By the end of this 1 hour class, you will know a solid amount of Lightroom Classic to start using it as your regular editing tool!

Introduction to Lightroom Classic

Sam is thorough and explains everything well. He also provided emails after each lesson with attachments relating to what we had gone over. 

Sam is awesome! Very detailed and thorough and explains everything so a technology challenged person (like myself) understands. :)

Highly recommend Sam!

Sam explains everything so I understand. I’m a bit technology challenged so that was very nice! He is very thorough and detailed.

Sam is an awesome teacher! Very knowledgeable in photography, photoshop and lightroom. He is very good at instructing and giving pointers for those who are seeking to improve their photography skills. I highly recommend taking lessons with him!

Sam is the best person I recommend if you want to learn the basics of photography, lightroom, and Photoshop. Sam has been the greatest teacher ever, he is so kind and caring and really cares about you progressing as a photographer. Even if you are already into photography and you are not a beginner, then Sam can still teach you so much. Sam is just the most outstanding teacher, and he is very personable.

I learned so much in the first session alone! Lots of “ah-ha “ moments.  Sam is very knowledgeable and the class was very interesting with different demonstrations of the concepts being taught!

Phenomenal teacher.  Makes learning fun (I hated learning Spanish in school and now I look forward to it!)

Sam is always prepared and punctual — and pulls together homework assignments on his own time.

Sam was hands-down the best Spanish teacher I have ever had. He was personable, funny, and excellent at explaining concepts. He kept things interesting and engaging throughout the class. My Spanish improved fair more than I expected or hoped. All around, fantásticoooooo!!

Sam was friendly, knowledgeable,  and so NOT intimidating.  :)

Sam was able to teach you in a way that you can understand easily. I already booked another class!

Sam was great at adapting to what I felt I needed help with first. Looking forward to our next class.

Sam is amazing! I learned more in 1 hour than me trying to learn on my own for the last 3 years. He has visuals and practice exercises as well! For adults I think this style of teaching is excellent! Already purchased my second lesson!
