History of Americas and Africa Major

For my history major, I have taken many world and America history classes. These classes have often focused on social studies specifically. Similar to how there is overlap between history and politics, there is clear overlap between most of history and social studies.

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!!!

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.

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.
