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.
Kaitlyn M.

I highly recommend Dr. Sherry F. I have struggled with social studies my whole life and I finally gave in and decided to get a tutor. I attempted the social studies praxis exam twice before I decided to work with a tutor and both times I failed. After working with Dr. Sherry I finally started to understand what had happened in this world to give us the opportunities and freedom we have today.
