He was able to answer any of my social studies questions right away! His knowledge is amazing. I ended up passing my test the second try, with the help from Brian. The social studies subtest is very hard, but with Brian's help, I raised my score 10 points. That may not sound like much, but for someone who has never been good with this subject, I was ecstatic! I couldn't have done it without my tutor, Brian!!!

Angie makes social studies fun. My twin girls age 9 usually do not like social studies. Angie tells stories, shows pictures, maps and video clips that make social studies interesting. I recommend Angie highly.

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!
