About the teacher: Hi, my name is Sameer Raja and I’m a sophomore in high school. I am an avid YouTuber and video producer. My teaching style is different. I love teaching in a fun way where students can interact. Instead of competing with each other, my students collaborate and have fun. I also don’t provide any unesscessary busy-work or homework. After all, it is the students’ summer which they need to enjoy. My love for filmmaking and cinematography has inspired me to create a course to teach others to get started and improve their filmmaking skills. I look forward to seeing you or your student in my Youtube Video Production course this summer.
