He would also take time out of his schedule to answer any questions that I had through the messaging on Wyzant, which was very helpful when it got to be the day before my test and I was trying to learn every little thing. I couldn't have passed the Elementary Education Praxis II Social Studies test without Brian's incredible amount of knowledge that he shared with me about the topic. I would highly recommend Brain to anyone who is trying to pass this social studies test!
Kelcey M.

He is very knowledgeable in Social Studies content; US History, Geography, World History and Economics. Cliff is very patient and willing to listen and lead you in the right direction. He explains things in more than one way to make sure you fully understand the concept. I felt comfortable with Cliff and if I ever need him for any other subject, I will not hesitate to ask him. He is very quick at responding to emails/messages. I HIGHLY recommend Cliff as a tutor!
